Comment (by mojca):

 We are not discussing about allowing random users to do this, but allowing
 a limited set of trusted developers to do so.

 We are not discussing adding anything that's not already possible: these
 users can already copy paste a super long list of ports to the force build
 field.

 What I would like is a simple way to do things that are otherwise very
 tedious to do.

 We've been holding off the commit with `$Id` field for some time also
 because we would like to misuse that to rebuild all ports and were afraid
 to do so without success cache is place. I would prefer if we had an
 official easy way to launch a rebuild of some/all ports without tedious
 copy-pasting of tens of thousands of ports.
