The core of the issue is that there needs to be a searchable log of test 
reports frequently enough to be useful.

And if a BSP goes long enough (length TBD) without a report then it
needs to be killed.  I think it would be sufficient in many cases to
get a report like "tested on a custom board with BSP based upon
gen68360" since some of the BSPs and libcpu are intended to be largely
independent of a specific board.

A mailing list would be the easiest thing since it is free form and
already searchable.
