Buildbots offer different ways to send notifications: emails and IRC bot for example. If you want to *poll* for recent builds, I don't know. I would suggest to use notifications (push) rather than polling. > Maybe we can have the our bots check for the buildbot status in backport > PRs. Right now, I'm not confortable with this idea because there is a risk to scare newcomers with false alarms and real bugs which are not coming from their changes, but may be known or are new but still unrelated to their changes. Moreover, even when a buildbot fails because of a real regression, a build may include multiple changes (I saw builds with more than 25 changes on some buildbots). Buildbot is different than a CI: slow buildbots are able to pack test multiple new changes at once. So again, there is a high risk of false alarms. Maybe I'm too conservative and we can try something with good documentation and proper warnings to explain properly such hypotetical notifications on pull requests.
