Automatically checking for problems (other than alerting the maintainer on
generic failures) isn't trivial. I'm talking about stuff like stuck upload
queues or builds lost due to crashed autobuilder.
All build logs are sent to auric for further storage and analysis. Ask
Ryan Murray how you can help implementing some alert system.
