 It's funny how this reminds me of package build failures in Debian; in
 such cases, we start by publishing the list of affected packages
 ideally with links to build logs and the name of corresponding
 maintainers.  After a while, we actually start Cc:ing the maintainers
 or filing bug reports against each failing package.

 Would it make sense to publish such a list of broken boards and
 corresponding maintainers?  (Maybe some makeall + scripts magic?)

 This is a sample list of Debian packages not declaring the upstream
 "Homepage" properly:
