dev-util/pkgcheck is the QA tool used (you want -9999).

https://github.com/gentoo/travis-repo-checks is the wrapper that is
used to run it in parallel. A lot of hackery, and master is outdated
for -9999. No time to fix it. The repo-mirror-ci branch is better but
then, I updated it recently for some local hacks.

https://bitbucket.org/mgorny/pkgcheck-result-parser is the thingie used
to turn pkgcheck XML reports into pretty HTML. Also a bit hacky,
especially with the error & warning lists hardcoded.

https://bitbucket.org/mgorny/repo-mirror-ci all the extra scriptery
used to run it all. No time to clean it up more than I already did.
