I already experimented with Shared IMAP folders, but that's quite complex and you'll need to add another place from where you get your mails.
I don't know how well a ML would do, though...
The problem is, that you'll need to find a solution of hiding/marking already signed mails/uploaded packages. When builld admin A signs/uploads a package or mark it whatever state, that should be synced to all other buildd admins as well. Otherwise you'll generate useless work or act against each other.
But yes, a collaboritve solution would be nice to have. :-)

Hmmm, http://www.buildd.net/docs lists some (older) docs and texts:
- http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/wanna-build-states by Wouter
- http://wiki.debian.org/Buildd/BuildLogs by Luk
In general you question the w-b database by invoking something like wanna-build --query or --list or so and it gives back some packages. You can then claim a package by issueing another w-b call and the state turns from needs-build to building. Depending on the outcome of your build you can then mark your claimed package as failed, dep-wait, successful or such. When you upload it to incoming the state should turn uploaded where it eventuell get autoaccepted (when you're a buildd) and state turns to installed after the next run of dinstall or whatever that is.
Maybe some things changed a little since then...
