Initially, I would think the focus would be on emulator builds.

Personally, my goal is 100% automation, meaning if it ain't in a tree
somewhere, it ain't getting built.

Now, since this is all git-backed, we could evolve where there are sets
of builds blending in other sources that are published via their own
private git repos.

As I noted, though, I'm a n00b on creating build farms, so if nobody
else decides to be buildmaster, I want to walk before I run.

Yup. I expect it will take quite some time for a build farm to generate
useful builds, and even after that, there will be lots of times when the
farm either can't build (branch head is broken) or generates useless
output (e.g., HOME button doesn't work). That's partly an issue of build
farm tech and partly an issue of the current Android OSP development
process.

Over the long haul, we should be able to get this to be as smooth as
silk; short-term, it'll be as smooth as a battlefield. But, ya gotta
start somewhere.
