Overall I think this idea makes sense.  Is it your intention that the
try run should be 100% complete, or just that one exists and is
associated with the review?  In some cases I find myself invoking
Autoland when I feel reasonably confident about the results.

Before I invoke Autoland, I make an effort to pin and tag
intermittents and infra issues on my own try run to give an indication
to sheriffs/reviewers that I’ve paid attention to the results.

But I agree the results are far too flaky at the moment for this to be
a requirement.  As an aside, at some point it would be good to have an
auto-starring bot for infra issues.

Precisely for this reason, I often find myself submitting a
contributor’s patch to MozReview to get the benefits of a good review
tool, try landing, and integration.

However, when Autoland is invoked to land the patches it wants to
rewrite the commit messages to r=me.  Because I obviously didn’t
author the patches this is confusing and prevents me from using
Autoland to land these patches.

Either I need to tell contributors explicitly to submit their patches
to MozReview, which in itself isn’t unreasonable but could drag out in
time if the contributor isn’t responsive.  Or I need to manually push
to try and land it on inbound.

It would be nice if it was possible to submit other people’s patches
to MozReview.
