John,
Unfortunately ATrpms RPM builds are a one-man show.  When Axel is otherwise
engaged, things come to a halt.  Other users provide SRPM updates, etc, but
when Axel is busy, no RPM updates will take place.

To my knowledge, we've gotten nowhere with the shared build server idea
that was floated a while ago.  It requires a lot of initial setup and since
Axel is strapped for time, I doubt it will happen any time soon.
