Hi Brian,
glad to see you're still around, I was starting to worry because of  
your extended silence :)
While you are here, could you please indicate me where I can fetch  
buildbot HEAD?  I wouldn't like to submit patches that don't apply  
against HEAD or that duplicate work already done on HEAD.

If the patches don't make their way to the ML, for whatever obscure  
reason, I'll re-submit them manually.

By the way, your theory about messages with attachments being  
processed in a different queue doesn't hold: the patches I submitted  
do not contain attachments and weren't delivered, whereas my messages  
contain a PGP-signature and *are* delivered almost instantaneously.

I'm looking forward to reading your feedback on my patches.

I think my next patch series will try to implement `try --diff' from  
the WebStatus interface.  Most of the developers do not have buildbot  
installed on their machine, or do not want to install it, or can  
install it but don't have direct access to the buildmaster because  
it's behind a firewall, or whatever.  So it would be *much* more  
convenient to be able to triggers builds with patches from the web  
interface (and with HTTPS you obviate most of the security issues).   
What do you think?

Cheers,
