I was not proposing to "just" stop, but i think that polluting all the
ticket's reports because of an unrelated issue is not productive. If some
patchbot do not report success on the develop branch (ticket 0), then it
should stop testing tickets, this is what i meant.

I personally check my patchbots "by hand" when i see them stopped, and
report bugs when necessary, though i admit there should be other ways to
get informed that they went wrong, as Erik suggests.

Note that ticket 0 has a dedicated page, where we can inspect patchbot
issues: https://patchbot.sagemath.org/ticket/0/ so it should be possible
to parse it, or to have the patchbot server generate a dedicated page that
is more parsable (e.g. RSS feed, json, whatever).

Ciao,
