It seems like we should not be emailing contributors on a exceptional->error condition. Making this change might cut down the noise on the bots materially. Philip

Very rarely (if ever?) could the committer legitimately be blamed for that.

We've discussed conditional emails based on previous status and type of error before, and we all agreed it was a good thing to do. But the lack of interest due to people moving to Jenkins got us nowhere. I now see that I'm not the only one liking Buildbots more, so I think we ought to start that thread again.
