            Bug ID: 243691
           Summary: `git webkit pr` workflow needs to be friendlier for
                    new contributors
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 13
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: ryanhaddad at apple.com

When a brand new contributor prepares their first patch and runs `git webkit pr`, they are greeted by some error messages that make it seem like things went wrong.

For one, without edit-bugs privileges in bugzilla, they will see errors about being unable to update the bugzilla (which is related to self-assigning the bug), even though the PR comment is added successfully.

Another error comes from the script attempting to add labels to the PR, which will fail because they are not in the @WebKit/contributors, which is gated on being in contributors.json.


At minimum, we should make friendlier, more informative warning messages about the above cases that don't make it look like something has gone wrong.
