It's triggered by new patches AND new commits. Since I want to be
polite, I try to avoid having more than 2 builds going at a time.
They generously invite open source projects like us to run up to 5
builds concurrently for free, so I thought I was being at least a
little bit considerate, though I guess I could drop it down to 1. It
goes in rotating order of Commitfest ID and waits in between to limit
the rate. The constant stream of both commits and patches during a
200+ entry Commitfest mean that it's effectively building around the
clock and each CF entry gets retested about twice a day. Perhaps I
could make it smarter... I'll think about that. Thanks!
