I'd way we should expose all of them, and let users pick the things they're
interested in.

Yes, but that's not enough.  As someone with a buildbot worker in my
basement, I don't want anyone on github to be able to run code on that
worker.  I trust the Buildbot committers enough to test code after it has
been reviewed, but not before.  So Buildbot needs some way to "approve" a
pull request for buliding.

It also needs some way to report the status of that back to the github pull
request -- there's really no point in building it if nobody sees the
results.
