It's hard to make suggestions without seeing what you currently have, please let me know when you have pushed the code.
Could you please explain what you mean by logging into buildbot (and by more precise data collection via it)? How exactly you are planning to work with buildbot interactively? In the part that concerns our task, buildbot picks up a push, gets it compiled and runs MTR with certain predefined parameters. There isn't really much room for interaction. Possibly I totally misunderstand your question, so please elaborate on it.
What I can do (it also concerns your previous comment about the non-continuous data) is upload a fresh data dump for you; hopefully it will have [almost] all matching logs, so you'll get a consistent chunk of test runs to experiment with.
