Starting about a week ago, parser test results are now included in code 
review listings for development trunk:

http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Code/MediaWiki/path&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fphase3

Regressions are now quickly noted and fixed up within a few revisions -- 
something which didn't happen when they were only being run manually by 
a few folks here and there.

Is this the sort of thing you're thinking of?
