When a patch that affects test behavior on a specific platform is uploaded, rebasing is needed on other platforms as well. In most of the cases, this does not happen on uploading, and the bots stays red for a long time, or some discussion with the author is needed.

This tool would get the list of modified tests on the EWS phase after uploading the patch, and notify the developers about ports/tests that would need some revision in a Bugzilla comment. In this way, the author (and the gardeners) can see what tests would need additional expected files, immediately.
Another improvement is to run this rebase automatically and upload this rebase patch to the bug, or maybe unifying the rebase patch with the original one.
