Jesse, I'm not sure if I mentioned to you before, but I'd be glad to  
help you with this if needed.  Then, what I was implying was that  
there could be a way for package builders to submit jobs to the  
server (maybe a different one than the main build server - but I  
guess we'll need to see who all wants to use it) in order to build  
them in mock.  This would be a different queue than used for real  
builds (which would go on to be pgp signed, and released), instead,  
it would make the SRPMs accessible to the builder so they could post  
them for QA.

Anyway, just a thought - not sure how much demand there is for such a  
setup.
