One thing I'd like to see is support for "integration" with other tools, 
such as the source-browser in trac. I.e. a plugin to buildbot could 
decorate the change-view with links to Trac or some other 
'browse-a-repo' webapp. Likewise, the reverse poses an interesting 
challenge. A wiki-macro that links to a buildbot-build. (Where several 
wikis could/should be supported.) Anything to get buildbot more 
accessible via HTTP(S) is a good thing, IMHO. This is an area where I 
think I could actually contribute a bit.

Additionally, the buildbot community might benefit from a tool that 
manages buildslaves in more detail (to restart/reconfig buildslaves, 
update their installation (new buildbot/twisted/python version), etc. 
Especially for buildbot developers and/or ppl managing large buildfarms 
this might be valuable. (Not an 1.0 requirement, but a nice thing to 
look forward to.)
