Hi Robert, I like your solution using Travis and Google App Engine. However, I think there's a much simpler solution which can prevent commiters from pushing not even compiling or test-failing code to the master in the first place.
Commiters could simply install a git pre-push hook in their git repository (this is merely placing a file named pre-push in .git/hooks/). The pre-push hook would simply run "mvn clean package" and would then fail to push to the master if maven does not report success. Such a precaution would save effort and time for everyone. You already pointed out that not all eventualities are covered by the tests, so this could be an additional measure to the Travis notifiction on the dev mailing list.
