I would advocate a system were people are encouraged to take responsibility of the problems they introduce when committing changes. Of course, there are sometimes situations where it's not possible (triggering platform-specific oddities, for example).

They might not be able to diagnose the problems, or fix them, but I think they should still take responsibility until handed over explicitly to someone else who knows the failing platform, right?

It should be relatively straightforward to have some process send email to authors of checkins that have created new failures.

Cheers,
