given that this is SIG Core effort, I'd expect people to look at that
project's code for this content, and its clearly marked. But feel free
to submit patches to docs etc.

also, please use git format-patch and post to this list; if you want to
use bugs.c.o as a marker, thats fine, but the patch content needs to
come to this list and will be commited from here.

all of this is already in place, look at the buildlogs site and track
down a build target, it has the mock config, the environment around it
and the input + ouput results. And this is per build, so address's the
concern around environment changes etc.

creating 'chaser' or 'shadow' builder threads is easy, chain it from a
reposync call ( each of the build targets has a complete repodata/ dir )

the piece that is still missing is the quantification of what that delivers.
