When I looked at buildbot last year it seemed like setting it up to build multiple, consecutive, interdependent tarballs (i.e., gnome) required both large amounts of code-hacking and the regular regeneration of control files from jhbuild, was going to be a gigantic pain. If support for multiple, interdependent tarballs has been added, or someone feels like adding it, I agree that otherwise buildbot would be ideal. You can get good results with simple 'jhbuild moduleset', though.
