[webkit-dev] EWS now sends email notifications for failures

[Aakash Jain]

Hi Everyone,

I am happy to announce another EWS feature: email notifications.

From now on, whenever EWS detects any build or test failure caused by a patch, it will send email notification to the patch author. In case of build failure, email will contain the relevant error lines, so as to help in quickly identifying the issue. In case of test failure, email will contain the list of failing test, along with the link to test history.

In case someone prefers not to receive these emails, they can unsubscribe either by emailing me or adding their email id to EMAIL_IDS_TO_UNSUBSCRIBE in Tools/BuildSlaveSupport/ews-build/emails.json

These email notifications are added as per the feedback received in a survey we did earlier (in https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2019-December/030980.html). Some more details in: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215220#c0

Please let me know if you notice any issue or have any feedback.

Thanks
Aakash
