So I made a little (hackish) addition to sympy-bot that prints a
summary of the results in the comment (see
https://github.com/sympy/sympy-bot/pull/29), and am in the process of
doing this myself.  Sorry for any duplicate reviews, and for spamming
people with sympy-bot test results in general :)

And I should note that the command should be xargs -L 1 ./sympy-bot review.
