Maybe strange idea and not thought to an end:

allow people to do their own builds and distribute those via our mirror 
network (or a parallel mirror network .. or their own network or 
whatever :) )
This would be similar to mozilla's contrib builds.

So - the TDF "core build team" takes care about the general builds 
(multilang + helppacks + langpacks in some cases). l10n teams (or teams 
porting to other platforms) take care about "what they want to have". 
With this the core team will not have to deal with the additional build 
and upload time, contributed builds can be de-coupled from regular 
builds (might be published some days later, announced locally only ...).

André
