Build can be triggered by patchset submissin, too, but it would require more
build server resources. Usually not the first version of the changeset
will be accepted
especially from new contributors and this means more builds.
Note that Core Developers would not have to wait since they can give
+1 for their own
changesets.
The other reason behind requiring a +1 from someone we trust is that
otherwise it would
be easy to prepare a changeset which does unspeakable things to the
build servers which we don't want to happen.
Without requiring +1 we would have to prepare build systems to cope
with malicious commits.
I would be fine with both options, but in the first proposal I
preferred to avoid having to harden the build systems.
Cheers,
Balint
