Thanks very much for pointing me to that.  I'm looking into auto-testing stuff 
that would work with a project hosted on Gitorious (GitHub is unsatisfactory for 
political reasons) -- I'm working on the assumption that one of the standard 
testing frameworks will play nice with that (I've seen a writeup on Gerrit + 
Gitorious), but assuming anything custom is required, this could be a very 
useful template.
