Comment (by Zorg-Org):

 I'd like to throw in a request for 10.5 PPC binaries into the ring as
 well.  I would love to see official builds from the 'clean-room', I have
 cobbled together my personal collection of port binaries into an
 unofficial repo but am finding that many of my ports are getting stale
 already, with new versions of ports and new dependencies abounding.

 Is there a specific type of hardware that is preferable for donation for
 the build bot?  I have a few spare iBook G4s if that is sufficient.  Not
 the fastest machines in the world, for certain, but happy to donate if it
 helps.  Else we could perhaps rally the PPC community to the GitHub
 sponsorship route.
