I was thinking of setting up a Macincloud account with a Patchew runner
for this.

Great, we could also move the Patchew tester off the Fedora machine that
is getting a bit crowded.

David, any chance you could add Docker support to ppc64 builds?  I don't
feel too comfortable doing untrusted builds inside the RH network
without any protection from containers etc.

Same as above for Docker support.  If ARM builds can be containerized, I
can also look for resources inside Red Hat.
