I'm actually in favor of sending mail to both the committers who
caused the breakage and the breakage@ list, but before we do that we
should at least get the tests that are running under buildbot to pass
once ;-)

Agreed ;-)

If it turns out to be overly annoying we could also look into other
mechanisms of running the tests, via python explicitly instead of
actually running them directly, for example.

I'd also be interested in setting something up.
One suggestion I've got for the failure page is that if we could
possibly make the tests.log files available to through the buildbot
interface it would be much easier to debug test failures on remote
slave boxes.
