Is this something RH will pick up or is it a best-effort personal 
contribution of yours?

I can state it brings pretty good value to arm-linux/aarch64-linux 
testing. I've been noticing an influx of regressions from pushed patches 
that have not been properly exercised on aarch64-linux, which is 
unfortunate.

Ideally we'd have a CI loop integrated with some patch reviewing system 
(gerrit was great in this regard), but the buildbot is already a great 
improvement over not having anything.
