            Bug ID: 1418369
           Summary: Need way to revert commits or mark tests bad without
                    testing
           Product: GlusterFS
           Version: mainline
         Component: project-infrastructure
          Assignee: bugs at gluster.org
          Reporter: jdarcy at redhat.com
                CC: bugs at gluster.org, gluster-infra at gluster.org



As discussed in today's community meeting, we need a way to "dig ourselves out
of the hole" quickly when work is blocked by sporadically failing tests. 
Specifically, there should be a way to exempt patches from testing which (a)
revert a previous commit or (b) mark a test as bad.  Gerrit has permissions
that allow specified users to bypass tests by pushing to refs/heads/xxx instead
of refs/for/xxx.  This permission should be enabled for project architects (and
probably not for others).  If we can further extend or limit this ability by
recognizing reverts and test markings for what they are, that's great but not
immediately necessary.
