Hum, I think that I should elaborate my previous email. It's usually easy to identify a commit which introduced regressions if you compare 2 or 3 failing buildbots and their list of changes. So when I identify the commit, if I cannot fix the issue immediately, usually I leave a message on the issue (bugs.python.org). So the author but also other people who worked on the issue are well aware of the regression. In my experiemnce, it's rare that I get any feedback in less than 24h, while slowly more and more buildbots become red. It depends on the availability of the commiter. Since I'm trying to always keep the highest number of green buildbots, I prefer to try to fix the bug myself. My question is what to do if I'm unable to fix the issue and the author is not available. Keep a broken CI for hours, sometimes for days. Or revert the change to reduce the pressure and get more time to write a *proper* fix? I propose to revert to get more people at the issue to find the best option, rather than urging to push a quick & dirty fix. Hopefully, in most cases, the bug is trivial and I consider that the fix doesn't require a review, so I push it directly.
