No, these things don't exist presently, or we would be using them!
VMs added, and Scallywag running under those, getting off the GitHub and
Appveyor servers?
Certainly, a small and worthwhile initial task would be to replicate our
existing Fedora cross-build CI (which predates builder.sourceware.org)
in buildbot.
But unless someone volunteers to do that, this just seems like the
peanut gallery inventing more work for me to do.
Under the Mission web page they do say "others - just ask!" so should we?
One can ask, but the answer isn't always going to be "yes".
Previous discussion I have on this topic have ended up with "why don't
you just run it all under wine" which was slightly frustrating to deal with.
Of course, if someone wants to donate the services of a Windows-hosted
runner, that would be a different matter...
