(Adding kde-core-devel as this is a global Gerrit thing.)

We could do that, the options are at [1]. However, see below.

This one is easy, patch under review at
https://gerrit.vesnicky.cesnet.cz/r/247 . (At least the docs say it's
supposed to be done like that.)
The Zuul state is hinted on the webpage anyway and nobody is
really interested in "yes, builds as expected" mails
I actually find these e-mails handy during my work with OpenStack's Gerrit
review. Because their CI process doesn't always give feedback in matter of
minutes unlike our current lightly-loaded over-provisioned system, I do not
mind getting a confirmation of "yes, this works". I suppose this would be
less-so if I was more familiar with their environemnt and tests, but as a
newbie, I like it.
and if it doesn't build, that would mostly concern the author. If one has
trouble to resolve build issues, one can still ask explicitly.
Yes, I think this makes a lot of sense, and I agree with that change.
In addition, it seems reasonable to me to mail out changes only
after they've been successfully built.
I'm afraid that's impossible without custom code.
Cheers,
Jan
(I also do ask because of what would happen if gerrit became
the KDE tool and the following GSoC occurs - I recall to have
written "this will not even build" a couple of times ;-)
