This was detailed in an earlier email.  There are limits related to the 
current plugin and how it processes patches.  The issue is simple and 
effects job when aborted because someone isn't in the whitelist.  I have 
spent a lot of time testing diff options and the best I could come up 
with is that we abort the process.  The biggest problem is the 
gerrit-trigger plugin treats aborts as if they are a failure instead of 
as a non event.  I tried several diff ways to make it a non event but 
couldn't find one.  The choice I went with was to add text that they 
failed and leave them at zero the other options was to mark all failure 
/ aborts (Including people not in the whitelist) as a -1 that wasn't 
really acceptable.  There are 2 diff bug reports and if either gets 
fixed we will be able to -1 failures but until the are done I am very 
limited on the options.
