I would not do this as a project, because we don't know yet what works for us well and we need to keep iterating on this, starting now. See my comment in the issue #3445 you posted. I just released NumPy 1.7.0, and I have the process fully automated, so let me create something for SymPy. I've recently contributed the following improvements to our Travis-CI testing: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1756 https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1758 https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/1759 So I think that we are in a pretty good shape here, the last missing piece is testing our Sphinx docs, which I will try to contribute soon. We are depending a bit on the actual Travis VM setup, which we can't influence, so I think it makes sense to run the tests once in our own well controlled environment in a Vagrant VM during the release process, as a safety check. I'll contribute the initial version, and then the release process will be defined by just running a script. Anybody can improve it by sending a PR.
