It's a huge waste of time that you are no longer informed when a build fails on EWS. This seriously delays urgent work, as you only start working on fixes when you happen to manually poll, or even worse, when a reviewer tells you to. It's good to not spam everyone, but patch author should be notified by EWS immediately I think. Some ideas: - e-mail; - IRC; - browser notifications when bug page is open. The latter might be best, as it also gives some control over whether to get pinged - keep the bug open if you care, close it if it's not urgent, and you cannot afford distraction now.

If we do this, it should be opt-in. At least in my workflow, this would be more annoying than helpful.

I think it is partially implemented already in EWS as of today: -> Build fails - Email (need to be in Contributors.json - if I am not wrong) -> Test fails - Email __ Do we need to enhance it with `notifications` or make it more streamlined etc., I think we can raise new bug with new ideas or we might even have it already. Should we close this? @Alexey

I think so too, but I almost never post PRs that can break the build at this point, and don't have hands-on experience. Adding Aakash and Ryan who would have the most insight.
