Or possibly a system like Debian has for source packages where auto builders go and try to build everything and only after it passes all archs does it get accepted. You would e-mail your patch to the autobuilder and it would spit you back a log file.
excellent idea.
This all gets you around compile problems but theres still the "Does it actually work?" issue. Somehow you have to go verify those changes actually work on the boards. Especially if your end goal is to prevent bricking the hardware.
Until we have a large distributed cluster of machines connected to promices we should stick to code reviews and assiduous maintainers.
