That's not entirely true. CFBot never runs on patches that are only in
closed commitfests. So even if it had been working fine, it would have
not picked up Peter G's skip scan patch until after he moved the patch
to the new commitfest.
I definitely agree with Peter G that that's a problem i.e. having
CFBot not run on patches for ~X days until the author notices they
were not moved and moves them. Ofcourse the CFBot could be changed to
behave differently, but then the question becomes how should it behave
then? When do we want to stop running CFBot on patches?

And when do we do that?
