Plans, yes.  I haven't decided on how I want to structure it.  The main thing I know is that it can't annotate with
failure notifications every time it does a build that fails.  My current thinking is that I'll first write a
greasemonkey script that integrates the tester results into github so that there's visibility of the current state
along-side the pull itself.  That won't help with notifications though.

It's a security measure to avoid building just any random bit of code that happens to be submitted.  There's a white
list of users it'll run tests for.  I hadn't looked to see if there were requests from new people in a while.  I just
added you and a couple others so those requests will be tested now.

Later,
