This is the type of info that needs to go in the QGIS -Governance
docs. But due to all the consolidation work there is only now:

- qgis.org server hosted by OSGEO
- android.qgis.org hosting donated by me

Gary and I used to run much of the project infrastructure on our own
servers but that has pretty much all been rationalised to the servers
above now. Possibly we could ask OSGEO for another vm if needed. We
could also build benchmarks on my server, but it wouldnt be a zero
load environment as Radim suggested.

Tim
