[webkit-dev] Proposal: Stop EWS bot commenting in bugs

[Ryosuke Niwa]

FWIW, I've posted a patch to implement the compromise Sam proposed:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127079

It would be nice to update the code-view.js so that it could show style
errors inline next to code but that could be done in a separate patch.
