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

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.
