We would like to add more buildbot workers for test Python on Fedora and RHEL, but I have no idea of the ideal "size" of a worker:
It basically comes down to how long you want to wait for results :). The devguide lists [1] 2 cpu, 512 MB RAM and 30GB storage as the preferred minimums, but that may or may not actually be enough anymore, especially on RAM.
For reference, here are stats on my workers (formatting may be destroyed by Gmail, sorry if so):
