I've recently been informed about CAS, the core analysis system. This is an effort by Red Hat to open source the automated analysis platform for kernel cores that is used by their internal support teams, and get it out in the hands of the community. I've successfully gotten it to analyze a core, but it's not quite production ready yet :).
It's really simple to install from source (which is currently the preferred method, and involves making an RPM of it). So far, I've only done local node analysis (i.e. copying the core to the CAS server), however it supports gathering cores from remote machines, as well as farming work out via func to remote machines if the current machine is not capable of handling the analysis - i.e. the machine is i686 but the core is from an x86_64 machine.
There is a mailing list you can join for feedback!
