I don't think that suggestion covers it. Unless you mean to say one of the
'subscribers' is made responsible for checking the build logs, by
arrangement of the package maintainers.

They are not synchronized at all. But a build log could be sent
automatically to the maintainer, or <package>@debian.org (either for all
packages, or none as far as I'm concerned). Subscribing to receive build
logs - that's something you should talk to the build.debian.org admins
about.

Yep.
