We don't have a concrete roadmap to get more hardware for bots at the moment so if you have machines available today that would be a great help. Carol Concatto is co-ordinating the work so you should sync up with her to figure out how best to maximize configuration coverage across your bots and ours.


As we've recently discussed on a different thread, it would be very 
useful to have a buildbot that builds Flang in the "out of tree" 
configuration. We likely also need a better spread of host compilers and 
versions.

We also need to get the documentation building properly [2] It would be great to get your thoughts on what more/else we should be doing here given your experience as a release tester.
