If you would review a PR first, say for a minor version update, version and checksums changed, you could approve the change of couple of lines and trigger the build by buildbot and, if successful, upload the binary without further intervention. Is this now the case?

No, as I think we've explained several times already, now, Travis CI builds the proposed change automatically, immediately after it's submitted. The purpose is to verify that it builds, and the results of that build can inform our review.
