I think the EWS style bot should show error output via semi-modal dialog rather than requiring to click through to view the errors. Clicking from bugs.webkit.org to builedbot results is kind of jarring (from a context-switching perspective), so it would be really useful if the style errors could be presented on bugs.webkit.org without having to switch web pages or opening a separate tab. My initial thought is a semi-modal dialog that can be dismissed by Escape key or space bar or clicking outside of it (or clicking a close button)--in other words, it's easy to dismiss--but is modal enough that issues can be copied and pasted if you want to address them via bug comment. Maybe even adding a "quote style errors" button in this modal dialog would make it easy for patch authors to explain why the errors are occurring.
