Erm, it appears I didn't make myself clear: I'm willing to provide the /hardware/ for buildd setup, but I certainly do not have time to tend to routine buildd maintenance, as I've mentioned already. I understood that at some point Carlos wanted to handle that part, but from what I gather, he's also busy so it's probably not happening. I agree we need someone to take care of the buildds, but I'm afraid it cannot be me.
