[Mailman-Developers] Help with Continuous Integration for Mailman Suite[GSoC 2015]

[Konstantinos N]

Hello again everyone on mailman-developers and congratulations for 
entering GSoC as a mentoring organization!

I have been around for a couple of months in the community and have 
tried getting acquainted with the codebase and the MM way in general. 
Lately I started reading up on CI (mostly Buildbot and Jenkins a bit 
less) and how it exactly worked plus the past archives regarding it.

Still I feel I could use more resources on MM and CI integration as I 
feel that CI could prove useful to the project and save time for 
everyone that works on it.

I could use some help with some specific questions though, mainly
1.Does the software in question need to support all SCM currently used 
by the suite or will multiple ones will be used for different SCMs?
2.Does the software need to work well with tox or will there be a change 
on that part?
3.Apart from Sqlite3 and PostgreSql support, what other databases are 
working with Mailman? From what i have gathered the last two months, 
there are some MySql implementations together with the default but is 
there any other Database which could need porting during the duration of 
SoC?

All resources and discussions are appreciated since they will help me 
form a better idea of Mailman working together with Continuous Integration.
