 The doc says :
 failed
     A build failed

 You should replace 'failed' with 'failure' in the doc.

 As a consequence of this documentation error,
 I've first tried putting 'failed' in the notify_events configuration
 parameter of the IRC status, and I did't get a configuration error, but an
 error at runtime, which is difficult to understand.  I've had to modify
 the source code and replace the UsageError with a log.msg in
 validate_notification_event to be able to understand the configuration
 error.

 It would be nice to change the way this configuration error is handled.
