OT: It would save lots of time if we had 2 things for the CF app:

1. Emails that go to appropriate people when status changes. e.g. when
someone sets "Waiting for Author" the author gets an email so they
know the reviewer is expecting something. No knowing that wastes lots
of days, so if we want to do this in less days that seems like a great
place to start.

2. Something that automatically tests patches. If you submit a patch
we run up a blank VM and run patch applies on all patches. As soon as
we get a fail, an email goes to patch author. That way authors know as
soon as a recent commit invalidates something.

Those things have wasted time for me in the past, so they're
opportunities to improve the process, not must haves.
