Some further suggestions:

* have the e-mail address of each egg developer and send the author a
  message in case of breakage.

* egg developers can always use salmonella before checking the changes
  in the svn repo.  I think this action would dramatically reduce the
  number of failures.  Here's a tip:

$ salmonella '(chicken-setup-args (lambda () (string-append "-d -destdir " 
(repo-test-dir) " -local chicken-eggs-repo-dir"))) (eggs (lambda () (list 
"my-egg")))'

Replace chicken-eggs-repo-dir by the path to your local repository and
my-egg by the egg you want to test.

Alternatively, you can use an input file with the code above and pass
this file as argument to salmonella.  Example:

,----[ salmonella.conf ]
| (chicken-setup-args
|  (lambda ()
|    (string-append "-d -destdir " (repo-test-dir)
|                   " -local chicken-eggs-repo-dir")))
| 
| (eggs (lambda () (list "my-egg")))
`----

$ salmonella salmonella.conf

Best wishes,
Mario
