I thing your builds are very legitimate because they serve a usefull purpose:
make the software availabe for people like me who wishes to use it but have no
knowledge/spare time for the intrincacies of the build proccess. I can ge the
unreviewd patches from CVS and from nigthly snapshots, and testers like me can
show the patches are ok or have errors.

If you do not want to let possibly unreliable releases avaibale for everyone,
you can let on your page for a week or so, and if there's no critical erros you
could upload to sourceforge and use their bandwich.
