We did a survey (https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2019-December/030980.html) regarding notifications by EWS. Survey results indicated that most of patch authors want a notification when their patch fails any EWS. In contrast, most of the people do not want any notification when they are cc'ed on the bug (when they are not the patch author). Email notifications would help the patch author to know quickly when the failure happens on their patch, so that they don't have to keep checking Bugzilla for all the EWS queues to finish. Commenting on Bugzilla wouldn't be appropriate since it would create email notification for all the people cc'ed on the bug, and as per the survey most people do not want any notification when they are cc'ed on the bug (and are not patch author). Based on that, sending email notification to patch author seems like the most appropriate thing to do. 1678271 1 aakash_jain 2020-08-06 09:29:38 -0700 Most likely, I would also develop a way to unsubscribe from the email notifications, so that the people who do not like the email notifications can unsubscribe from them. 1680002 2 webkit-bug-importer 2020-08-13 09:25:19 -0700 <rdar://problem/66995913> 1682623 3 aakash_jain 2020-08-25 05:00:31 -0700 Developed a way to unsubscribe from ews emails in Bug 215585. 1682624 4 aakash_jain 2020-08-25 05:01:36 -0700 Enabled email notifications for build failure and layout test failure in https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/266089/webkit 1682667 5 aakash_jain 2020-08-25 09:13:12 -0700 Announcement email: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2020-August/031358.html
