[Buildbot-devel] How to have blamelist include all blamed checkins since last successful build?

[tom fogal]

For the use this was envisioned of in that project, for me it would be 
fine to simply have a "build-failed" table:

    Repository | UserID

which simply saw an INSERT with the committer whenever a build failed, 
and got cleared (per-repo, of course) when a build succeeded.  We don't 
really need to do a reverse lookup to figure out when it started failing 
or anything, we just want it to be annoying to every *active* developer 
until it gets fixed.

But I realize our use case is probably pretty simple compared to others. 
  TBH, I no longer work on the project that needed this... though I 
might use functionality as described above on other projects, if it was 
part of standard buildbot.  Did you get approval / submit a pull request 
on GH?
