 Which fields are necessarily distro-specific?  Which can we ask the distros to conform to a spec?
 Arch buildinfo files are included in the package, so they only include things that don't change.  They're not even using RFC822 format.

 Could include two checksums - One signed, one unsigned.
 
 Let's publish a buildinfo spec 1.0, and have people simply try to work to fit into it.  Then come back in a year and revise for 1.1 for whatever couldn't be handled with 1.0.

 ## How can cross-distro communication happen?
 
 r-b-general seems to be OK - but needs to be more widely advertised.
-  * Docs are going to include a "Get Involved" page aimed at distro folks.  This needs to be part of that.

 Problem that all the current r-b infrastructure is hosted on Debian.  In order to get involved, you need to know Debian process: what channels to use, how to file bugs.  It's a barrier to entry.  Documentation could also help with this - although that still leaves a perceptual barrier to entry.  Something Forge-like would be more friendly - Something that consolidates all the work in a single place.  Fedora used to have FedoraHosted; now it has https://pagure.io/.

 Does it make sense for buildinfo files to refer to each other?  e.g., this package was built with this version of GCC, here's the buildinfo file for that...
 CFLAGS need to be sorted.  Probably best to do that when the buildinfo file is written.  Just pick an order and use that.
