Yep, I for example would love to use this resource to ensure that gmpy builds and runs well on more platforms than the usual mac/windows/linux set I have easy personal access to, and I suspect most other maintainers of third party Python add-ons feel similarly. I'm sure the line must be drawn somewhere, however, as there will never be enough computing resources in the "buildbot cloud" to support the thousands of Python add-ons that are not part of the Python distribution itself. A criterion such as "only 3rd party add ons whose maintainers are also Python committers" (even though it would favor gmpy) might be a tad arbitrary.
