I think it'd be great of Emacs started running tests automatically after each commit with the help of some integration server (like Travis, Jenkins or something similar). It'd be easier to spot problems that way and people would be aided in developing some good programming habits. You cannot run tests that aren't there, can you? > On a related note at some point we might want to start using an issue tracker alongside the mailing list.
