Just to be clear, it is winbuilder, and not CRAN, that is the subject of 
concern.  In my understanding at least, these (winbuilder and CRAN) are 
quite different entities.


Also I have the vague (quite possibly erroneous) impression that the 
staff of winbuilder consists of a unique individual, namely Uwe Ligges.


It might be a Good Thing if someone located somewhere other than Europe, 
were to volunteer to assist Uwe.   OTOH Uwe might not want any 
assistance and/or might not trust the competence of such volunteers.


cheers,

Rolf

Could be.  FYI, I think the different win-builder queues are
independent, i.e. when one get stuck it does not affect the others.
For example, I just verified that R-devel_gcc8 works.

Hi Hadley,


It would seem so, or at least it's backed up significantly:

Hi all,

Is win-builder down? I submitted a couple of packages >24 hours ago,
