It's on my TODO to have that. I alluded to this on another post, but 
specifically I want to have OnDemand testers. They would allow a 
developer to go to the web page fill a form saying what test to run, 
what branch, and possibly a specific "version" to run. The code to have 
such a client is implemented, but the web page interface is not. Limited 
time and all that ;-)

At minimum we can dedicate specific testers to test one branch. And 
people could use the current, launch build web page UI.
