The key seems to be that no one has time to do the stuff they really want to do (get new ports into the system)... to that end automating everything that can be automated is sure help free up comitter time so they can look at what is interesting
Yes. I just can't imagine any generic port tests that can't be automated and coded into the script once and for good. Ideal system should be like github with the added automated testing between pull request submission and merge. It should either fail and notify the submitter, or succeed and notify the committers.
Today all committers do for ports is running some generic tests by hand, like 'lint' with various flags. Install/uninstall/etc. No wonder this isn't very a rewarding activity, and committers probably perceive it as a necessary evil. The way how it is, it causes a waste of their time.
