We do this, but it gets deprioritized when there's a backlog. As is the
case right now.

I'm also convinced that the way we do things in our team currently isn't
the optimal way to do team-based buildd maintenance; I do have some
observations I'm considering to share with my fellow buildd maintainers.
Most of these involve optimizing a few things, making better agreements,
and pushing some things we're already doing right now to more extremes.
Just need to flesh out my thoughts on that a bit before I go ahead.
