There is, of course, also the current alpha autobuilder, goetz.debian.org, but I don't know how we'd hand over smoothly from being an official autobuilder for lenny (which I guess it still has to be because of security support) to become an unofficial port machine.
Once Lenny security support stops, we will not want goetz and albeniz (the porter box) in our data centre any more, and I'd be more than happy for someone to take them off our hands to use as the unofficial ports machine.
They are both quad-CPU ES45 servers with 8GB RAM each, and so are quite large and heavy (7U of rack space per machine, I think)
