Thinking out loud - mad idea.

Does anyone have (or knows how to extract from gerrit) stats about how
many stages are requested on average during the week?

Would it be possible to do incremental builds when the one
sub-repository is "more active", and full builds otherwise (with
patches that are merged in if and only if they pass the full build)?
For instance, if qtbase is more active during CET working hours, one
could think of having incremental builds from 8.00-12.00 and
15.00-18.00, with a full build at 12.00 (~3h, till 15.00) and other
full builds starting at 18.00 and going on overnight?
