Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "buildbot" exactly--obviously something that builds Twisted, but is it something I'd run myself, or something that needs to be accessible from the Internet? I could help out in the short term, but I'm no HP-UX wiz; I'm only using it for one particular project because that's the hardware they run it on (to my dismay).
It's the thing driving this page:
http://twistedmatrix.com/buildbot/
It's how we can tell if Twisted works on various platforms or not. Without a buildslave running on a particular platform, we have no way to keep track of whether changes being made are correct on that platform.
If you're interested in setting up a build slave, http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/README would be a good place to start: see the "setting up a build slave" section. IIRC, you'll need some cooperation from our end as well but that should get you started.
