Can you expand on what you mean by this 4th point ? Is this a way to
allow individual patch submitters to re-trigger builds on their own
patches ?

IIUC, currently only core reviewers can directly retrigger builds. It
seems patch submitters are working around this restriction by simply
doing no-op rebases & re-uploading their patches again and again until
Jenkins passes.  If there's an easy way to allow re-triggering of failed
builds by any any reviewer, it seems that would mitigate the pain of
these failures, because we won't have to rely on a small pool of
people to notice bogus failures.

Regards,
Daniel
