Neither the Whoah, whoah, whoah, is this actually an option? Last I checked that answer was 'no'. Hell, that's most of the *problem* here. The limited set of people running the buildds don't want to spend more time but being allowed to be a buildd maintainer seems to be limited to a rather small set of folks. There seems to be a few different reasons for this, but one of the big ones is wanna-build access, I believe. This is because of limitations of the current wanna-build framework, which may have now been resolved? Having the porters run the buildds sounds like a great idea to me, and if you can't get anyone to run/maintain a buildd for an architecture, then too bad for that architecture; but don't come out and say we need more people maintaining buildds but then also say we can't have any more buildds due to architecture limitations and say that the current buildds have maintainers or that we can't let anyone else maintain them because of security concerns or whatever. Thanks, Stephen
