A concern with this approach is it's pretty arbitrary, and not always clear which bugs are being addressed and how severe they are. An idea that came up in the Infra/QA meetup was to build a custom review dashboard based on the bug list in elastic recheck. That would also encourage people to categorize this bugs through that system, and I think provide a virtuous circle around identifying the issues at hand. I think Joe Gordon had a first pass at this, but I'd be more interested in doing it this way because it means the patch author fixing a bug just needs to know they are fixing the bug. Whether or not it's currently a gate issue would be decided not by the commit message (static) but by our system that understands what are the gate issues *right now* (dynamic). -Sean -- Sean Dague http://dague.net
