Running extended regtests suite (a bunch of real-life scores etc) when
we have it prepared?  Sooner or later i'll be doing maintenance on all
my LilyPond scores, and when i'm finished, i'll be glad to contribute
them all for testing sake.
And we could use some Mutopia scores, as discussed during Waltrop meeting.

Also, shouldn't building a release with GUB be listed here?

When i buy a new laptop it's possible that my desktop will be
available for some work.  IIRC i have a fixed IP, and not-too-bad
bandwidth (0.5 or 1 Mbit/s upload).  The only issue is that it will
never be available 24/7 - more like several hours each day.
