I don't believe the comment was meant to be a slight on the efforts of the current infrastructure maintainers. I took Trent's message as referring to the problems Giampaolo mentioned in the original post (i.e. the ability to grant buildbot access in an easy-to-use way to existing core developers without burdening every buildbot operator with decisions as to who they can trust with access to their buildbot). Buildbot (and similar tools) are fine for what they do, but there are some problems like this that they don't even *try* to solve (because they aren't software problems - they're dependent on physical infrastructure).
