That could be nice... but has some complications. First, getting  
funds and getting machines. I suppose three Mac minis could be found  
for cheap (ideally five: three PowerPC OSes, two Intel ones). Then,  
probably each committer would need their own user account with their  
own MacPorts installation, so as not to step on one another's toes.  
And then there's the problem that not all ports can install without  
root access, which none of the commiters would likely have on these  
testing boxes.
