Wei, Doug: I have another question, which is mainly for my own understanding. Right now we allow posting of patches to Linux, Qemu, xen.git, OSSTEST, ... to xen-devel. The planned CI infrastructure only applies to xen.git. Have you thought about how to handle such cases? We probably don't want to spam Linux and Qemu lists with results from a test bot. And we want to minimise false positives. Some patches may be identifiable through subject lines (e.g. OSSTEST in subject lines) Lars
