I prepared a PR (https://github.com/boostorg/boost/pull/25) changing the 
way how the library results page is generated. It works locally in a way 
that it generates the results page but I'm not sure really if this is 
the code of a program used to generate the regression summary pages and 
how is it executed. Am I playing with the correct program?

How the procedure of contribution to Regression looks like? In this 
particular case I'm unable to test what I've done on a "living organism" 
since AFAIU the tests are processed on an external server. Assuming that 
my contribution is desired, should someone with sufficient access rights 
test the code from my fork or should the code be merged and then tested 
as "official"? Or should I request access rights required to test it myself?

Another thing. I'd like to investigate why the results are missing for 
Geometry and Spirit master branch. I'm guessing that if I wasn't able to 
somehow figure it out locally then some form of access to all of the 
test results sent by the runners would be needed for checking the XMLs 
and debugging the program generating the pages. Would this be possible 
or do you have a better idea?
