[ovirt-devel] Alternatives to automatically move bugs to MODIFIED

[Eyal Edri]

I still thinks its a very valuable hook and we are aware of the fact it has
bugs,  especially with patches on master branch and 4.0.

Shlomi from the infra team is working on a solution for it as we speak and
we hope to have a solution in the next few days,  however it's not trival
to test and requires setting up a staging env and improve loga for the
hooks system.
