What looks strange is that ci/tinderbox opened ~4700 bugs, sure, there are invalid/duplicate bugs but the majority are fixed so in my opinion they were useful, but looking at the mailing list feedback looks to be a completely crap.
I think this might be the case of a "silent majority, vocal minority" scenario. For the record: I for one have found your tinderbox bugs very useful, not in the least because you test unusual configurations my own build testing does not cover. There have been glitches - but IMHO very few of them, and human operators make mistakes too.
I still very much wish your tickets were tagged in a way which would make it possible to separate failures from QA notices (especially those that show up during normal emerge runs, such as that suspected DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS mismatches), though. I really do not need e-mail notifications about the latter, looking them up via my p.g.o page is quite sufficient.
