I went through the first handful of emails on that thread. The original request that wasn’t meeting a lot of opposition before I stopped digging through the thread was: “Please contact the author/reviewer and give them a reasonable amount of time before rolling out their patch.” I did not reach the message where the consensus was “contact the author and reviewer manually, do not use webkitbot” I believe that using webkitbot: 1 - Comments in a new bugzilla created specifically because there’s an issue 2 - Comments in the original bugzilla notifying of an issue 3 - Emails the author and reviewer by virtue of CC’ing them on the bugzilla(s) 4 - Does *not* roll out the patch. Assuming my webkitbot command contains a description of the reason this patch is suspect, including a URL to the failure, can you further explain why using webkitbot is unreasonable? Maybe that reasoning was reached in the thread you linked to and I didn’t find it yet. I would appreciate it being restated here as the project has progressed quite a bit since Dec 2012. Thanks, ~Brady
