I was just suggesting a "button" as a way of saying that we mightn't need the complexity of parsing emails etc. as there would be just a few branch maintainers and a few requests. But if it's more complex updating the dashboard, then that might not be best solution. As always, please consider this just one request. If others don't see relative value in it, then makes sense to drop it or select something more important ahead of it. thanks, Kevin. > Cheers, > Lincoln > > On Fri, Jan 21, 2022 at 9:00 AM Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com> wrote: > >> On 13/04/2021 14:50, Aaron Conole wrote: >>> Greetings, >>> >>> During the various CI pipelines, sometimes a test setup or lab will >>> have an internal failure unrelated to the specific patch.
