Thanks,

Hi Peixing,
It is certainly possible to add a buildbot without it breaking any of our CI. You're welcome to contact the mailing list for details:
python-buildbots@python.org.

Hi, Dong-hee:
Thanks for your comments.
If that is helpful for coredev's review, I can set it up. However, since the porting to VxWorks has not been done, I am afraid that we are not allowed to connect the Buildbot to avoid breaking the existing CI. Is it possible just setting a Buildbot for reviewing use without connecting to CI?
Thanks,
Peixing

The early issue from the core developer side, it would be helpful to review if the Buildbot is supported by Wind River for VxWorks.

Instead, VxWorks uses rtpSpawn() to spawn a new process. So we have to implement VxWorks’ own extension modules to support subprocess module. However, this is not significant amount of codes, just around 500 lines of C codes. Hopes any core dev could help to review and merge the simple compatibility patches. If I can be granted the commit privileges, that will be great. To ensure the quality, I will get the patches reviewed enough well before merging.

The former can be reviewed (and potentially merged) by any core dev knowledgeable in the areas being changed, but the latter requires long-term support for the platform.

Alternatively, someone else can be granted commit privileges, for the purpose of maintaining that platform and fixing any issues that come up in that CI that are specific to it. However, this is done on a case-by-case basis, as it still requires a decent amount of trust with that individual.

Especially as a group of mostly volunteers (and those paid by their employers to contribute), the latter wouldn't be sustainable. I personally think it would be fantastic to have official support for real-time OSs in CPython, but in this ecosystem, it requires being able to place trust in someone that's willing and adequately proficient in the related areas to provide long-term support for them.
