While I think your proposal is a great one, I think this is actually
the biggest limitation.  A lot of our packages (most?) don't actually
have tests that can be run on every build (most don't have tests, some
have tests that take forever to run or can't be used on a clean
install).

While runtime testing doesn't HAVE to be extensive, we do want
somebody to at least take a glance at it.

If everything you're proposing is just on top of what we're already
doing, then we have the issue that people aren't keeping up with the
current workload, and even if that report is ultra-nice it is actually
one more step than we have today.  The workload would only go down if
a machine could look at the report and stabilize things without input
at least some of the time.
