I vaguely remember discussing some design with few involved people at DC15 to overhaul the whole Debian Build infrastructure. However nothing happened and we are still maintaining last century Perl spaguetti we inherited from those days, but it had nothing to do with bikesheds. If you are interested, I could share those ideas with you but I leave that for another reply or thread.
FWIW, I have rewritten the buildd side in Python (https://salsa.debian.org/pkern/pybuildd) and am currently waiting for that to be deployed. There were concerns about how DSA wanted this to be packaged (essentially not at all). Replacing the buildd side with something relatively simple to understand is somewhat a prerequisite to change the wanna-build side...
