Joachim Breitner has set up Travis-CI. (I don't know exactly what that is, but it sounds useful.)
Travis is a free cloud service that runs arbitrary tests (in our case, a stripped version of validate) upon pushes to git repositories on github. I set it up to validate our master, so we get a nice history of successes and failures on https://travis-ci.org/nomeata/ghc-complete/builds and I get mails when things fail; that is when I send hopefully polite enough mails to ghc-dev, asking people to fix their commits.
(Unless I broke it myself; then I silently fix it and hide.)
If the false positive rate is low, feel free to automatically have the emails sent to ghc-devs@. We want to know when we broke stuff ASAP.
