I suspect somehow it was supposed to be internal to hs outfit only.
Timothy provides boot testing of coreboot master with QEmu and a AMD board that he maintains as a service to the community.
And something changed with regards to the logic behind how those annoying e-mail messages being sent to us.
The system only sends mails when things look wrong. Right now coreboot is able to boot, but has issues with the cbmem console. According to Paul's analysis, that's why it's now reporting a failure.

This is correct. Please see the thread marked "cbmem console broken on Intel hardware since ec5e5e0" for additional information on the regression in coreboot itself.
If the community would like me to stop sending these notifications I will do so; I could also adjust the maximum frequency if desired. As stated this is intended to be a service so that broken boards are detected and repaired; perhaps there should be an alternate way of reporting the test failure (e.g. the board status repository could be modified to store failed tests as well as successful ones?)
After some thought I have limited the notification to a maximum of once per day. This is in line with the default nag settings of other projects such as Bugzilla. Developers wanting to verify that an issue has been fixed before the next 24 hour message window should refer to the board-status repository, which continues to update at the normal rate (within an hour or two of commit to mainline GIT).
Thank you for providing this service. It is very much appreciated.
I would like to make a suggestion, though: The mail size of failure reports is increasing constantly as long as a boot problem remains unfixed. Would it make sense to only list the first 5 and last 5 commits in the failing series and replace the rest with "..." or something similar?
