We should improve the handling of trac downtime by commit-queue. Yesterday trac was down for some time. Meanwhile commit-queue failed to fetch commiters information from trac, and the commit-queue builds failed. e.g.: https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/28/builds/2774 In such case, commit-queue should try to load the local copy of contributors.json from disk (local checkout).

Good idea!
I have one suggestion: how about getting contributors.json from https://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/config/contributors.json instead of accessing through trac? It is not involving trac. So I noticed that the above URL was alive during trac is down. Several services are using the above URL, https://webkit.org/team and Tools/WKR slackbot. I think the above one is accessible so long as SVN server is alive, maybe more robust than trac...?
