Have you guys seen the source juicer project - it's aiming to be similar to what
Mike is suggesting but for the Desktop community, and possibly for some others
in the future.
It uses the build mechanism of the Desktop community[1] (which makes use of
pkgbuild[1], which is based on the Linux communities rpmbuild). It watches for
SVN commits, and/or takes a patch pointer, which can then be built. It's then
put into a pending repository for review, before pushing to a contrib
repository.
Now while this isn't currently usable for ON style builds, that doesn't mean
that if the right people get involved now that they might be able to make a
feature like this work for ON too.
You can find out more at:

Personal repos (for testing a patch before commit) is something still in
discussion, but hopefully will be done, if so, then it might meet you needs
better.
Thanks,
Darren.
