Currently we're doing a mass rebuild about every couple of releases,

Since Dennis Gilmore has written this rebuild script already, why
don't we run the script more or less continuously? Obviously we could
pace the builds so they happen for each package about once a month and
don't overload Koji.
Then we track packages that don't build, say, 3 times in a row, and
file FTBFS bugs for them and after that prioritize fixing them or kick
them out of the distro.

Matt Domsch used to do this on the side, which is the right way to do
it. If he's not doing it anymore, I would urge some concerned
contributor to help setup the infrastructure to do it again.
There's been a lot of work to make it so we can do it ourselves. If
anyone wants to help out on it I can point you to what we built. Until
we get the new hw active we will be limited on where we can run, though.

I believe I misphrased my statement above. I'm not necessarily
encouraging somebody to go outside the Fedora Infrastructure to do mass
rebuild attempts. My goal was to encourage people to do it in a
throw-away method, not an actual spec committing build bumping use of
Koji. The rebuilds should be attempted outside of koji and without
modifying the sources. If there is room to do that inside Fedora's
Infrastructure, all the better.
