Firstly, thanks for writing this up Maris, I'm really excited to see 
continuous rollout starting to become a reality.

Also thanks to the QA team for their hard work on the QA tools!

There's one more scenario that I'd like to see - marking a change as already 
qa-ok when it lands.  In the Soyuz team we frequently do QA on unlanded 
branches on the dogfood server, partly because it's easy for us to do this, 
and partly because we're extremely uncomfortable landing some kinds of changes 
without a *lot* of QA first (over several weeks).

Right now I am using the [no-qa] tag for PQM which makes the scripts mark the 
bug as qa-untestable.  I'd like it if we could have a [qa-ok] as well to 
indicate that QA was indeed carried out sucessfully.  This would also reduce 
my frustration when I forget that the tagger script happily removes my qa-ok 
tag and replaces it with something else. ;)

Cheers.
