Hi,

Since cfbot keeps coming up here, a quick bug report.

cfbot treats a .tgz attachment as a patch even when the archive has no
patch inside.  It then applies nothing, tests plain master, and reports
green -- so a real patch posted earlier drops out of testing and the CF
entry shows a false green.

Live example: CF 5802 (Unicode Normalization).  The last real patchset
is v11.  My next message attached coverage.tgz (a gcov HTML report, not
a patch); cfbot took that as the latest submission and has been testing
master ever since.  That's the reproducer -- and the reason 5802 looks
"stale/merged" on the dashboard when it isn't.

Suggested fix: only treat an attachment as a patch if it's a
.patch/.diff, or an archive containing one; otherwise ignore it and fall
back to the last attachment set that had patches.

Regards,
Henson
