on-site support for buildds at arm.
process day-to-day buildd requests give-backs) 
investigate missing arm support (e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=724711)
investigate compiler issues and push to arm compiler team if appropriate (e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=974058 )
run rebuilds across the arch occaisionally (currently planned for arm64 to test BTI support and armhf to test 64-bit timet release)

yes. I have three arm64 buildds (I did have an arm64 desktop until we
all got sent home - it's now stuck in the office, but I should have an
arm64 laptop from next week...) (thunderx, softiron, Ampere emag). and
an assortment of armhf and armel devices including my home controller
(armel, balloonboard) (odroid, hikey, arndale, cubietruck, qnap). My home
server and mythtv backend was armhf until it croaked last month. An
emergency x86 box has been stuffed in until I work out what's wrong
with it/replace it.

Yes. Added multiple console support for last release.
