Not yet, but this is also possible.  We can create a tarball with all of the
files we want and upload it to the master:
http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.9/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html#step-FileUpload

Usually BuildBot would notify a build failed and send a link to the place
where you could get more information, including log files.  So it wouldn't
be necessary to send all of that data to the mailing list.

But it seems you want a much broader solution.  Could you elaborate what you'd
like to see in those messages?
