I don't think I can reopen the bug, since I wasn't the submitter (at least, I
don't see a link for that anywhere).  Can you file a new bug with a "depends
on" field for this one, with the title something like "webkit-patch does not
clearly state whether it committed or not" since the actual hang has been dealt
with?  (Or else just reopen this one and change the title, if possible.)

This does point out a disturbing lack of atomicity - as I understand it, the
patch was landed to svn ok, since your svn login was correct, but then the
associated bug wasn't updated in bugzilla, since the bugzilla login was not. 
Maybe it should login to bugzilla first and not push to svn unless that
succeeded?  It could still fail if there's a timeout or bugzilla service
outage, though

I guess the best approach would be, if any step failed, print out a nice big,
"WARNING: the following steps were completed: ... But the following were NOT,
you need to do them manually: ..."
