Never heard about it, sounds useful.

We have too many jobs (for me) to know them all.

So I use 'search'. What to search for? Usually the project name, but some
projects have many jobs too.

There are jobs named something_manual, 87 currently. Some (many? all?
those I know) get a tarball as input. I don't like this personally,
as I can't know, when using a result of such a job, what was in the
tarball. Much better to have to push first to gerrit and supply
that (or commit hash, or something like that).

Some of them are called something_any_something_manual. Are these
special? What's 'any'?

Perhaps we can have (instead? in addition?) a button on gerrit
"trigger build-artifacts" that will run the standard-CI build-artifacts?
Or some other new script we'll add to standard-CI? Because current
build-artifacts is expected to be ran only after merge, and the
publisher reads it. Perhaps e.g. "build-scratch-artifacts".
