(Note: this is in general as well as specifically to this instance).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.

Right now most non-x86 arches have a small number of devs and a small
amount of time in which to test.  

I would like to request (was going to GLEP it when time permits) that if
you want to test something for an arch you can't test, please make a bug
for it.  This way it's sure to get visibility and you actually know that
an arch person tested it.  Mailing lists are a poor way to ask for testing
and the testing requests are easily lost in the myraids of email that a
dev has to read when they get home from work/school/whatever each day.

Thanks,
