Some of the scripts are in contrib/regression already, at least the build
scripts are.
What's missing (in addition to idiotproof instructions, although the script
is well-commented) are the scripts that parse apart the ChangeLog to see
who changed what, and send the email.
I already have an autocrasher that mails to the testsuite list. What I
don't have are (a) the email nagging scripts for the regression list
(and developers), and (b) enough spare cycles to run it continually.
