TWIMC: the above made me find and fix a few bugs and other problems in
regzbot. But regzbot didn't automatically close the record when the
revert was merged, which was my fault, as above commands didn't point to
the initial report (the one referenced in the revert). So I'm adding it
now with below line (with only regressions list in To: to avoid spamming
people) to make regzbot handle such situations retroactively:
#regzbot monitor
