Actually, there was some discussion about that in Vancouver :)
It boils down to more or less having at least two people to be able to
maintain any of the buildds, so that if the primary buildd admin goes on
vacation / is ill / ..., that doesn't put this buildd completly off-line.
In fact, this has already happened in the past, without anybody except
the buildd admins noticing it.
