Should be able to specify a subset of ports when posting patches to fix port builds. It's a waste of resources to post patches just to find out if you've fixed all the compiler errors for a subset of ports. It would be nice if there was a way to specify which port(s) a patch should be run on so EWS doesn't spend time building and running tests on patches meant to test build fixes.
I'm skeptical about this. This would make it really difficult to tell if EWS was green. And I don't know how much EWS should trust engineer's opinion that they didn't break anything unexpectedly.

This would not be used for the "final" patch for review; only for intermediate patches where an engineer is trying to make a patch compile for a port that they don't have access to build. Obviously this requires some trust, but marking skipped platforms with a different color would make this pretty obvious. Maybe commit-queue could refuse to commit a patch with skipped platforms, too. Of course, maybe developers would be too lazy to use this anyway, so implementing it wouldn't be useful. :)
