Autoland should solve that use case :-)

(Reducing the thread scope for the followup)
One issue I often run into is that the contributor doesn't have access to
try, and pushing it on their behalf disrupts the rhythm of the other things
I'm doing. If we go forward with this, can we also get some kind of
sheriff-assisted try push flag? Something like try-needed?

As many of you are aware, the sheriff team has been assisting with landing
checkin-needed bugs for some time now. However, we've also had to deal with
the fallout of a higher than average bustage frequency from them. As much
as we enjoy shooting ourselves in the foot, our team has decided that we
needed to tweak our process a bit to avoid tree closures and wasted time
and energy.
Therefore, our team has decided that we will now require that a link to a
recent Try run be provided when requesting checkin before we will land the
patch. To be clear, this *ONLY* affects checkin-needed bugs where we're
assisting with the landing. We have no desire to police what other
developers do before pushing. As has always been the case, developers are
expected to ensure that their patches have received adequate testing prior
to pushing whether they are receiving our assistance or not.
Our team is also not going to dictate which specific builds/tests are
required. We're not experts in your code and we'll defer to your judgment
as to what counts as sufficient testing. As mentioned earlier today in
another post, if in doubt, we do have a set of general best practices for
Try that can be used as a guide [1]. We just want to ensure that patches
have at least received some baseline level of testing before being pushed
to production. We've been testing the water with this policy for the past
couple weeks and have already seen a reduction in the number of backouts
needed.
For those of you mentoring bugs for new contributors, please also keep
this in mind in order to keep patches from being held up in landing. And
consider vouching for Level 1 commit access to further empower those
contributors!
Thanks!
