Hi Cafe.
I have thought that a more interesting metric might be to send the
maintainer an email when their package stops building automatically
on
hackage.
I think, this is "must have" feature for new hackage. If error was
occured during build, send email to maintainer: "Error occured while
building your package <name> with GHC <version>. Build log: <...>. If
you are to fix it in a week [month?], please send reply for this
message". If answer was received, then do not send such notifications
every time during specified period (say, a week or month). If after end
of this period, package still could not be build, then send next
notification, maybe with additional question: "If you are to maintain
this package, please send a reply for this message"...
With any scenario, "build failed" notifications is a "must have"
feature.
WBR, Ilya Portnov.
