For brevity, this is the side-project I mentioned to make Buildbot
more like Travis in that respect:
https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot_travis

It's maintained (and I believe used) by the Buildbot maintainers
themselves. I've looked at it, but we haven't tried to use it. One
reason is that it works by dynamically adjusting the Buildbot config,
and I was unsure how this would work if we still wanted to have parts
of the Buildbot config that were custom/static (like I mentioned, we
have some other automation tasks that we run on top of the same
Buildbot master instance).

Anyway, just thought I'd drop the link. Probably good idea to go with
Jenkins if you want in-repo build recipies out of the box.
