It's a little disappointing to discover that despite the relatively large number of developers who have received MSDN licenses from Microsoft, none if us have the time to make sure that the buildbots are green for the 2.6.6 release.

I wonder if anyone can think of a way we can get some Windows skillz into the group that could assist at ties like this. Some brainstorming might find a way through. I never go looking at the buildbots to look for problems - maybe some way of explicitly bringing such failures to peoples attention would be good

Agree with that. This page looks hopeful:

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/

with Atom/RSS feeds and an XML-RPC interface. I've subscribed to the RSS feeed which is -- from my perspective -- quite noisy. One could do something with the xml-rpc according to this:

http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/0.7.11/#XMLRPC-server

but does anyone know how easy it would be use setup a mail notifier to go to a specific Python mailing list on failure? I've looked at mail.python.org and Googled around and I can't see something which already does this, but I'm very happy to be wrong...

There seems to be some previous discussion:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-October/069617.html

but no sign of an outcome.
