For the CI problem, it may be worth approaching Xamarin, as setting up the infrastructure for doing that ourselves looks like a formidable engineering challenge we don't currently have the relevant skillsets to provide.
Is this said in the context of "we (Python) have an existing relationship with Xamarin, and we should lean on those contacts", or "we should really develop a relationship with Xamarin"?
The latter - although as Antoine noted, we *do* have some nominally supported platforms that don't have buildbots. That configuration just means that *other* core devs aren't likely to be too worried about breaking the platform - more of the burden will fall back on the folks actually keeping that platform running. However, it did occur to me that running in the iOS and Android simulators should be feasible on a normal x86_64 system, assuming you can figure out a way to run the regression test suite without a normal console.
