Yeah, I had to upgrade the machine it was running on and the setup
wasn't trivial to redo (buildbot was patched and running in a
container) so I looked at the access logs and basically, nobody but
me was using it. So I just dropped the service.

Reliable and not too critical since anybody who has write access to
the repository gets to run code on it automatically and the project
on Savannah has 129 members, some of which may be abandoned accounts
with weak credentials...

I recommend buildbot.

I'm adding Ted to Cc since he expressed interest in setting up a
buildbot for Emacs the last time this subject came up.
