It's very useful if someone reviews regressions manually and files bugs / notifies authors of patches that seem likely to have caused them / fixes them if straightforward. However, that can take a lot of time (especially if you're building a large number of configurations, and ideally there would be at least compilation testing for every target architecture supported by GCC if enough machine resources are available). (I do that for my glibc bot, which does compilation-only testing for many configurations, covering all supported glibc ABIs except Hurd - the summaries of results go to libc-testresults, but the detailed logs that show e.g. which test failed or failed to build aren't public; each build cycle for the mainline bot produces about 3 GB of logs, which get deleted after the following build cycle.) -- Joseph S.
