Plug in what?  They don't have a login to the server I'm running it on.  (And 
if it's running the busybox test suite, presumably they can check in any tests 
they want and those would get run.)

Also, the testsuite would be run inside various qemu instances, on root 
filesystems only containing busybox built against uClibc for various hardware 
targets (arm, mips, sh4, ppc, x86, and x86_64 at the moment).  Presumably 
you're saying buildbot should be run inside these qemu instances...?  I'm not 
sure how it applies.
