Well, panic's over as 2.15.9 is uploaded and announced.

How about we make a "staging" branch in git, then encourage people
to push to "staging" instead of master?  We will then have
somebody (probably James) merge from staging to master, after
checking that it builds completely.  This could even be done
automatically -- depending on how much horsepower people want to
offer, it could be every 4 hours.  A new powerful desktop computer
can do make and make doc in 20 minutes.
