Personally I'd like to see links to an autobuilder report showing it has
succeeded and if such a tag is *not* on a pull request it's
automatically pushed to an autobuilder instance with the success of the
build sent back to the list as a reply to the patch thread.

I think hardware constraints make this a bit of a pipe dream though?
