I think it's polite, though not mandatory, to make a reasonable effort  
to find the person responsible for the breakage and give them a chance  
to fix it. (This doesn't have to mean hunting around for hours or  
days, but you could send email or ask on IRC.) Also acceptable to fix  
it yourself, if it is obvious how.

I'd like it if we had an IRC bot that announced build breakage on  
#webkit.
