I never understood how it become socially acceptable in open source 
project that Gentoo is that one of the important automation that does 
tinderboxing is closed source and gate kept, meaning no one can on their 
own reproduce the failures, which is utterly annoying when your normal 
testing just works, yet their testing methodology is a secret.

I would be in favour of stepping up the social contract and actually 
prohibiting this kind of things, we had that before too, the nattka you 
mgorny wrote is replacement for old bugzilla bot that was ... 
closedsource and perished, though nattka now have way more features than 
the old thing ever had.
