I should say that I'm quite proud of seeing more people discuss the
higher level proccess of mentoring and doing a pre-QA work (automated,
the way I brainstormed in an earlier e-mail) in packages entering
Debian.
For people having packages being sponsored, this is a highly educative
things and, for those sponsoring uploads, a good opportunity to document
things and, perhaps, to even integrate more content on the Developer's
Reference and all that.
We know, after all, that (unfortunately) not all packages in the archive
are in very good shape and that DDs would also benefit from a more
comprehensive documentation of the best current practices.

Keeping the binaries is a good thing. One more point to use a
virtualization solution for this. But also, is there enough space on
mentors.d.n?

I would like to offer some of my old machines (from other arches, like
ppc) to this buildd network, but I don't know I am am "trusted", not
being a DD etc. :-/ (I am only a DM)

Uh... I'd love to attend this, but I don't know if I will be able to go.
I'm taking my passport and I will see if I can get a visa, but I expect
this to be the harder part.
