This is something that we should automate.  Just because maintainers 
might be too lazy to do rebuilds themselves doesn't mean we shouldn't 
try to find bugs in their required libraries, etc.  Plus with 
automation, we can schedule and/or order how frequently packages get 
rebuilt so we can avoid overloading the service if for whatever reason 
everyone decides to do scratch builds at once.  We can even include 
logic such as "hey, there's a new version of mono, let's rebuild all 
mono apps just to make sure the new version doesn't break things"
