Right now, not for "general public".  They auto-build (+test) every release
that gets commited to "master" - which, of course, means "it is too late
if it breaks platform <x>".

We have discussed building from test branches (on-demand), and widening the
access to these branches - but nothing specific has been decided yet.  Maybe
we should put that on the agenda for the monday meeting on May 30...

 - addition of new branches (at github), with more liberal commit rights
 - having the buildbots pull from github (right now they use sf, AFAIR)
 - opening the buildbot "build revision <x> on platform <y>" API for
   a wider circle (right now, I think only Samuli, David and I have access
   to that host, it's on private addresses in Samuli's VPN)

I'm a bit reluctant giving "full user account" access rights to developers
I have not met in person yet - but with the approach outlined above, at
least sanity checking "I think the patch is good, will it break one of the
more esoteric platforms?" will be possible.

Samuli, are you listening? ;-)
