To extend this for other platforms I believe we need:

(a) To modify run-tests.php to send something more easily parsed than a mail. Probably xml?.

Are you suggesting to send the XML by some transport other than email?

Not necessarily :-) In fact wouldn't have to be XML either, we could just parse the email using - let me see - regex?

Maybe I am just confused about what you are talking about here, but run-tests.php does not send emails. It POSTs the information to qa.php.net which then checks if we care about that PHP version and then sends the mail to qa-reports@ if we do... Nope - you are right - it was me that was confused (or rather, had forgotten).

It would be very simple to alter this as of 5.3 to POST (XML, serialized array, or whatever) to different url on qa.php.net which then can process the results differently, possibly by storing stuff in a database so querying about specific platforms would be easier, or even specific tests....... Yes.
