[webkit-dev] EWS Comments on Bugzilla (Was: EWS now parses error logs in case of build failure)

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

My preference is still e-mailing the patch author directly (possibly, also having an option to opt in for anyone). Bugzilla comments will always be irrelevant for most people CC'ed on the bug, and they are almost always undesirable to keep within the discussion flow.

Normally, it requires some searching through the logs to find the relevant errors. But now, there is another 'errors' log, which contains just the relevant 11 lines (containing error and few related lines to provide additional context).

My further plan is to make this information more readily available, by adding it to a custom designed page which will open on clicking the status bubble https://webkit.org/b/197522
