No; nobody volunteered a machine yet (plus the hand-holding that is always necessary with Windows).

What exactly is needed for this? Does it need to be a machine dedicated to this stuff, or could I just run the tests once every day or so when I feel like it and have them submitted to buildbot?

"The point" of buildbot (atleast the way we use it) is to see immediately what check-in broke the tests on some platform. So yes, permanent availability would be desirable.

However, buildbot runs in the background (atleast on Unix), and gets triggered whenever a checkin occurs. So the machine doesn't have to be dedicated; any machine that is always on might do.
