In [this comment](https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/27436#issuecomment-889815333), I learned that it's possible to break the buildbots in a way that's not fixable with a simple code change.

The recommendation there was to contact the buildbot owners, but as far as I can tell, there's no mechanism to do that. Reading through the documentation for [buildbots](https://devguide.python.org/buildbots/) and [enrolling buildbots](https://devguide.python.org/buildworker/), there's nothing about subscribing to any list, so it seems there's no way to reach this audience.

It would be nice if there was a mailing list or other notification channel for the buildbot owners that could be used to reach out to them in an event like this.

There is a list `python-buildbots@python.org` that all buildbot owners have been subscribed.

Let me add the contact information to devguide.python.org.

Done and done.
