This is now deployed, so you can now find a CF entry based on the email ID.
A bunch of other improvements also got deployed:
- Improved homepage[1] (now with useful and bookmarkable links at the top)
- More links on the cf entry page[2] (cfbot results, github diff, and
stable link to entry itself)
- Instructions on how to checkout an cfbot entry
CFBot traffic lights directly on the cfentry and probably the
commifest list page are the next thing I'm planning to work on
After that I'll take a look at sending opt-in emails
Another thing that I'm interested in adding is some metric of patch
size, so it's easier to find small patches that are thus hopefully
"easy" to review. To accommodate multi-patch emails, I'm thinking of
showing lines changed in the first patch and lines changed in all
patches together. Possibly showing it clearly, if significantly more
lines were deleted than added, so it's easy to spot effective
refactorings.
