No clue :) Probably depends on what was donated to us at the ASF, and
what infra has purchased. I know some companies have donated build slaves
for Jenkins (e.g., I think Hadoop has some donated slaves), so you may want
to talk to infrastructure@a.o about that (via email or via IRC #asfinfra).

Ask infra :) 

It depends on time, resources, and budget :) And volunteer willingness,
I'm sure.

Cheers,
