I have got buildd working (which is why Lincoln mentions me above).
However, I don't upload anything buildd builds - I'm just using it for
testing.
I will start uploading buildd stuff, if Christian wants me to, and if we get
a frozen directory (or if some hacks wanna-build, I suppose).
Netgod used to run autocompiles, using a different autocompilation mechanism
(is it called dbuild, maybe?). But I haven't heard from netgod for some
time on this list.

This was my point, of course. That's why we need a freeze.
