Jenkins alerts on infra list

[Mike Burns]

I've noticed that the infra list has been somewhat inundated with 
Jenkins build failure notices recently.  I wanted to ask whether infra 
is really the right place to get these notifications.

In some cases, I think that it is the right place, but in most, I think 
it's not.

Things like:

check_disk_space_on_jenkins_slaves
check_gerrit_ovirt_org

and other jobs that are purely monitoring or slave maintenance jobs 
should report to infra.

Other jobs that are sub-project oriented, I think, should alert a 
sub-project specific mailing list:

ovirt-engine_create_rpms_fedora
ovirt-engine_dao_unit_tests
ovirt-engine-update_db_multiple_os
etc...

While I think infra should know when there are service problems (like a 
machine's disk is full, or a service is down), I don't think it's 
worthwhile for infra to be alerted for *every* failure of a job in 
jenkins.  It's not the job of infra to make other sub-projects fix their 
builds, just to provide the jenkins service.

I propose that all sub-project builds that send email to infra be 
diverted to the <sub-project>-patches mailing list.

Thoughts?
