Because one or more people may work on more than one bug branch at one 
time, all of which may desire continuous build/test support.

Unless more or us compete for the same job. Theoretically, you could 
have one job per committer. But then, if one committer works on 
different bugs simultaneously, the committer would have to change the 
job configuration each time a context switch happens. I'd still prefer 
the job per branch approach.
