Roman Hodek is the main author for wanna-build.
Every debian maintainer can lock a package (or more) on tervola and build it
at home.

The need-to-build list was the list with bad packages. I should set them all
to failed, but i like it more (for the moment) to restart it from time to time.
You can setup a client-build-daemon (tervola is master), but we shouldn't do this
at this stage. We can do this after the release, this machine can build then the
stable binaries.
The best way is -- as i requested it serveral times -- ask for bad packages and
work on them.
