Do we have any understanding of how much email this is going to generate?

Seems like it would be a ton. Are the recipients prepared for that?

This seems way more useful then the flaky one at the moment, because there will be far less of them

What's the point of this test if we aren't testing the email sending in some way?

We created a new email address to receive these emails see: https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/264779/webkit

Number of emails would vary based on how many flaky tests or pre-existing failures are there on a given day on trunk. We started these emails today, and we got 35 emails (26 for flaky tests and 9 for pre-existing test failures) so far.

This test is independent of this patch. I could have added it in a separate patch.

Does that mean we already have a version of this deployed?
