Google has it's own fair dose of "not invented here". :)

WebKit has been quite receptive of the recent script additions we've made,
including check-webkit-style (originally cpplint.py) which was entirely
Google code.  The entire commit-queue architecture they're now using was
written by Google employed WebKit contributers (myself, Adam Barth and Dave
Levin).

I don't mean to pick a fight, but I just don't think this should be a we vs.
they argument.  Google employs 4 WebKit reviewers (myself, Adam Barth,
Dimitri Glazkov and Darin Fisher).  Reviewers tend to make the decisions in
WebKit land.  Furthermore, Apple tends to follow the saying "code wins",
meaning: given two ideas, one of which is coded and the other which is not
the coded one wins. :)  If a Googler produces functioning WebKit try bots,
the WebKit community certainly isn't going to turn them down.

I think Google employed WebKit contributers should feel full license to set
up try bots integrated with WebKit's buildbot.  I think Googlers should also
feel welcome to augment/replace parts of WebKit's buildbot architecture with
our improved versions from build.webkit.org.
