Disable sheriffbot bug posts?
Hi webkit-dev, Does anyone find the sheriffbot bug posts useful? My sense is that they're too noisy because of flaky tests and large blamelists. I'm inclined to turn them off unless someone else is finding them useful. Thanks, Adam
Perhaps if they included a link to the bot output (or at least the build permalink for that revision on that bot) they would be more useful (even if they're false positives, they could be checked and rejected that much faster).

I agree they could be very useful. But right now, especially with so many flaky tests in the tree, they're just spam. I'd like to fix them and turn them back on, but I see no reason to keep them spamming as is. On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 1:43 PM, Mihai Parparita <mihaip@chromium.org> wrote:

I filed <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46214> about this yesterday, that sherifbott should include a link to the failing bot output. I originally filed the bug with IRC in mind, but this is also true with the comments to bugs. Brian On Sep 23, 2010, at 1:43 PM, Mihai Parparita wrote:

I do.

I agree that they are, but they are also the only thing that leads me to the waterfall and console. Hard to know what to do based on that! -- Darin

FWIW, they've helped me on occasion and spammed me on occasion. Typically, I don't mind the spam too much because it comes after the last meaningful post in the bug, so it doesn't take too much cognitive load to ignore it when necessary. Geoff
They've also helped me on occasion. I get enough bug spam already that even in the worst case, I don't find the notices all that obtrusive. More useful messages would be nice though. J On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 10:28 PM, Geoffrey Garen <ggaren@apple.com> wrote:

Ok. Thanks for your input everybody. I'm going to try to make the messages more useful. adam On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 3:49 AM, Jeremy Orlow <jorlow@chromium.org> wrote:
