This is getting really silly and idiotic.
It seems that people just decide to start stuffing random build reports onto this mailing list without considering how it looks to those who are subscribed to the list.
While more testing is a good thing, randomly chucking unexpected build reports at people is _bad_. It can result in people getting overloaded, and deciding to delete all the build reports they've received, or, worse, /dev/null'ing all the reports from some particularly active sources.
There should be a requirement that someone who wishes to start sending build reports should first describe what they're doing to the list and announce themselves beforehand so that people receiving these reports have some clue what's going on - and if any changes happen to the build and boot system, they should also be announced.
These kernelci.org bot reports are something that's started in the last couple of days. From what I can see, there are two bots:
From: bot@kernelci.org From: "kernelci.org bot" bot@kernelci.org
What's the difference?
I've seen a hint in its output that it could be consolidating Kevin's and Olof's builds - is that true? Does that mean I can delete and in future /dev/null all of Kevin's/Olof's build and boot reports and just look at kernelci.org reports instead?
Explanation of what's going on goes a long way to helping the recipients understanding.

I'd like to extend the feedback wrt. the report the bot creates. The old(?) reports used to list all the boards and their status, am I now supposed to click on that link and read the web page instead of just searching for the boards I'm interested in in the email? That's probably not gonna happen :(

Looks like I spoke too soon. Failing boards seem to be listed in the report (guess things work to well and I hadn't seen a report with failing boards yet).

In this case, the "people" is me.

Nothing. Its just a single bot, the latter just has a fixed up email address.

It's replaced mine (I've already stopped sending my emails) and adds a few other board farms into the mix, but not yet Olof's.

Yes. I've been meaning to announce and explain the change in more detail, but am currently at a conference and haven't taken the time to do so properly. I'll follow up with a more formal announce soon.
