There's not been a huge amount of effort put to this - I've had other priorities ever since, but I can get back on it, if you feel it's the time to do it. The only code to work in that direction is here: https://bitbucket.org/fedoraqa/execdb/branch/feature/pony where I only basically started on removing the tight coupling between execdb and buildbot, and then I went on trying to figure out what's in this thread.

How far did you end up getting on this?
