We had an instance where one of our repos changed and caused the buildbot to stop connecting but we didn't realize it until much later.  Is there a way for BuildBot to be more proactive on these kinds of errors?

There's no facility to communicate general system errors to the waterfall, no.

The metrics system has an "alert" facility that could certainly be
adapted to this purpose.
