GSoC 2020 (Samartha S M)

Hi Samartha,
IMHO the proposal looks good. I guess it would help if you also add a
protocol specification in the proposal.
Also, you could play with the master-worker API
<https://docs.buildbot.net/latest/developer/master-worker.html> to
understand it better. @Povilas Kanapickas <povilas at radix.lt> is it feasible
to build a POC in the next few weeks?

Thanks & Regards
Rajdeep
