Could we build a retriggerbot that smashes the retry button three times
before bothering any humans about failed tests?

Hitting retry is often the first troubleshooting step people take; I've
heard tests may be retried something like ten times by different people,
each of whom was taking a reasonable enough "first debugging step"
without noticing that other people have also done the same.

This way, any failures that bubble up to a human would be 'bad enough'
that it requires a human to address. (Of course, this may require tuning
the 'three' in my suggestion based on how many retries are usually
necessary.) Whoever is looking at an error could skip a retry at that
point and start right away looking at the test in question.

Thanks
