A quick count of the Trusted User wiki pages shows that 7 out of ~25 
TU's have x86_64 access.  For groups of packages like compiz-fusion, 
where many packages need updated at once, perhaps it would be better to 
just ask for a builder on the mailing list. I have seen TU's voted in 
primarily on the strength of having a 64bit machine to do building on so...

I'll help out intermittently (my 64bit machine is really my wifes 
laptop...)
