Yes, Buildbot can send emails about failed builds. Out of the box, it 
can support notifications to email, IRC, and, HTTP hooks.

emails can be sent for select builders or groups of builders, and based 
on the status of the builds (success, fail, warning). Buildbot can also 
email when build status state changes, i.e. failing to good or good to 
failing.

Ref: http://docs.buildbot.net/current/manual/cfg-statustargets.html

Where should these status emails be sent? Perhaps to 
openafs-cvs@openafs.org?

Sincerely,
Jason
