FWIW I’m working on setting up a Guix+Cuirass build farm at the MDC, and
the goal is to eventually make it available to the public.  Initially we
will restrict building to a subset that we use most often (all the
science stuff), but this will result in extra substitutes for packages
lower in the graph.

Ultimately, though, we ought to distribute the workload better, and
“guix publish” already helps with this.
