At this moment all the people and main developers were making several changes,
but locally. In some weeks there will be a update when the changes gets a stable
status, and probably, we could take advantage of this moment in order to try to 
move the gnome-builbot scripts to a gnome repository (at this moment it is on a 
Igalia server).

About make an update to a newer version of buildbot, I think that John Carr
were trying to do that to the current stable buildbot release (0.7.7) [1],
but I'm not sure if he gets a full support. I mean, he didn't sent any patch
to the list.

Well, exists the mail notification, but as far as I know, this only sent
a mail when a build fail, not when the slave get offline.
