ok, to expand a little:
1. Create a new sandbox in rulesrc/sandbox (e.g. rulesrc/sandbox/duncf):
mkdir rulesrc/sandbox/whatever
svn add rulesrc/sandbox/whatever
2. Create as many files in this directory as I wish, containing as many
rules as I wish, named "NN_anything.cf" (where "NN" is 2 digits)
3. Check those files into SVN:
svn add rulesrc/sandbox/whatever/NN_anything.cf
4. Watch as the preflight mass-checker starts checking them immediately at
http://buildbot.SpamAssassin.org/preflight/ .
5. (Optionally) wait for a nightly mass-check.
6. Wait until the mass-check results are in, and look at the results at
http://buildbot.spamassassin.org/ruleqa/ .
7. Tweak until I'm satisfied with my rule.
8. ???
9. Profit!

Yep, that's the thing -- we haven't quite decided what those
promotion criteria are. next step.

yep!
