I think we can work on this one... First of all - contributors need to know about this rule, perhaps updating [1] might be a good idea. Official announcement on mailing list might be also helpful (this email thread is already pretty long, so it might be missed by many folks).
Secondly - we need to stop integrating Pull Requests with new failures. It's a bit harder when we have some existing failures, because there is always an excuse (this failure is not related, it's just an unstable test etc). But once we have clean build - it's a "binary" decision. I think we might also add some descriptive comment to Pull Request when the build is unstable - something like "This Pull Request won't be integrated, because it's unstable. Fix it first.".
