I started with a small list that I know can be supported because I've 
personally got easy access to the systems involved. As I said in other 
posts, I'm willing to add a few more. But I'm concerned about systems 
with only one tester. In those cases I'd like someone to step forward 
(as you seem to be doing) and volunteer to ensure tests run regularly.

Can you test on both trunk and release branch? Or do you know someone 
who can test the release branch? Incremental tests are OK.
