Yes, it should be able to. However, it might change the part of the the
master.cfg file that defines the build steps from being trivial
(probably something like:
 building_python_factory = factory.GNUAutoconf(
 s(SVN, svnurl="http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk"),
 test=["make", "test"],
 )
) to something a little less trivial.
The standard GNUAutoconf class would have to be subclassed to add that
extra step ("make check_for_missing_docs"?). That probably would be
fairly straightforward. Neil and Martin would probably know better. I
don't have access to the buildbot setup.
