Hi Galina,

That's good news, thanks!

There's one problem that I had on my master that may be relevant, here.

When I left one bot disabled for a few weeks, the number of pending
commits would be huge and building its page would overload the server.
If I move a bot there, sometimes (not sure why) it won't start
building until a *new* commit comes in. If I hit that page before it
starts building, it'll overload the server. One idea I had, but didn't
do it, was to try to limit the number of pending commits (and drop the
older ones). On a staging master, that wouldn't be such a bad idea,
but I don't know where to change it, so I just clean it before I add
new bots to old builders.

Not sure if relevant, but I just thought I'd mention it. :)

cheers,
