How it works is.. I throw the srpm at the build system, and RPMs
pop out the other side. Once every so often (I think hourly, though
I've forgotten what I set it to) a cronjob fires, which copies
everything out of the build system to people.redhat.com

Normally, the following day, the highest version that is in the
buildroot gets pushed out to rawhide. Closer to release, the
automated 'if you build it, it goes to rawhide' thing gets turned
off, and packages get pushed through manually (which hopefully
explains why rawhide is 1-2 days behind what you see on my
people.redhat.com page the last few weeks).
