absolutely.
it is certainly a thing to consider in the future. adding a kubuntu
specific build slave to build.kde that does the heavy lifting and
having the projects orchestrated on build.kde proper certainly should
be possible. it would neatly aggregate all the relevant information in
one place.

to be fair though, from what I understand this does not actually
require the builds to be orchestrated by build.kde though: jenkins has
a concept of an external project which gets status information fed
from the outside and is in essence just reflecting something going on
elsewhere (either through the client.jar or the REST API apparently),
so propagating kubuntu integration status into build.kde wouldn't
necessarily require us to use jenkins directly.
