For some definition of "locally" - NIPA runs on a rented VM.

The way we run it on netdev is maintainer-centric, IOW we see 
the failures in patchwork and complain to people manually.
The netdev mailing list gets too many messages as is, if NIPA 
responded with results automatically (which is not that hard
technically) my concern is that people would be more likely to
send untested patches to the mailing list and rely on the bot.
