REVU is a tool for publishing proposed source packages for review by
MOTUs and the community - no automatic builds are performed on REVU uploads.

REVU is definitely the right place to be publishing a new source package
you would like advice and comments on, but asking specific questions
either on this mailing list or on the #ubuntu-motu IRC channel is also
advisable.

In particular, why does your package need so many platform-variant
builds? Mostly Ubuntu only differentiates between x86 and x86_64 CPU
architectures.
