Don't let me put a damper on your plans as-is, but I'd be interested if developers who frequently perform these kinds of tasks post about what they're actually doing. Rather than just asking people to give random others ssh access to random boxes, it might make sense to streamline certain tasks. Imagine a tool that takes in a list of atoms and dumps a tarball of build logs in some standard layout. That could be easily distributed (assuming packages were reasonably independent), and tools like tatt might even be adapted. Not a reason to delay what you propose, just another opportunity.
