Could we have some tag to svn commit like:

And also the "haha this is broken" tag and maybe the "will fry your mainboard" tag. :)
One problem is that commits that are board-specific hopefully result in a working board. The problem is that they break other boards that weren't tested (or other payloads on the same board). I don't think there's a
way
around that basic problem.
Boot testing would.
The automatic testing framework Stepan built a few years ago - I'd love to get a few boards set up for that. I have some boards lying around that could be used for that. My main problem is cost: dedicating an artec dongle + plcc adapter runs about $350 per board... And then you still need a remote power toggle device (can be had for cheap-ish if you look around a bit) and some sort of serial capture device (or just another computer if it's one or a few boards).
Your S2881 could host a framework for qemu, AMD serengeti, and AMD serengeti_fam10.
Having the three simulators working would be a start. I have no idea how hard it is to hook a simulator into the framework.
