People whose lives would be ruined by the receipt of such an email always have the option of leaving the checkin list. However, there is a buildbot feature named "try" which lets you submit a patch (subject to authentication) and performs a build with the patch applied. This lets you try lots of little changes without getting your VCS involved. It needs to be enabled in the buildmaster configuration and credentials created for any user who will be given access.
