Yes, I agree (I just responded with more detail in another response in
this thread). Of course the automatically opened bug would be
automatically closed again once build and checks work again, but it
would still be noise.

That said, my gut feeling is that we should start with plain email
notifications first, before we dive head-first into auto-filing bugs.
They are much less intrusive and can be ignored/filtered away if
desired, and don't require a long delay.

Thoughts?
