Buildbot's code-review process is described at http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/PatchReview. The important point to know is that Buildbot requires a positive review (adding the "merge-me" label) before a change is eligible to be merged. While we try to perform reviews in a timely fashion, if your review has lagged for a week or more please do feel free to nag us in whatever way is easiest for you.

The easiest way to hack on Buildbot is in a virtualenv. See http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/developer/tests.html#quick-start for a description of how to set up such a thing, and how to run the test suite.
