New description:

 Currently Buildbot (advertised as a "Continuous Integration" tool) uses
 Travis CI to do CI and pull request testing.  This implies that Buildbot
 is not fully functional for automated testing; adding support for using
 Buildbot to tests pull requests would fix this perception.

 There has been
 [http://sourceforge.net/p/buildbot/mailman/message/31751592/ some effort
 toward this], but nothing officially supported.

 Creating this ticket so that I can get notification if/when this feature
 comes online; no urgency is implied.
