We should write a little 1-line script that anybody can run that:

  (1) downloads, builds and tests whatever the latest sage alpha is.

  (2) posts the result (=testlong.log and install.log) online
somewhere once the test is done.

  (3) Then another script that goes through all the uploaded files and
summarizes all issues.

Here's my simplistic (1):

     rm buildbot; wget
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/buildbot; chmod +x
buildbot; ./buildbot

This works for me, since I update the script "buildbot" whenever there
is a new release.

Regarding (2), probably email is the way to go, but maybe something
else???.  We could setup a sage-release-data google group or ?

Any thoughts?

This could help a lot, I think.  Then instead of asking people to
manually go through build results, try to summarize them in various
ways, check that they aren't posting existing problems, etc., they
just type

   ./bb

and donate their computer's resources, but not their own time.
