Well, establishing whether LP reports are actual bugs and assigning the
severity isn't what triaging is for?

Having elastic recheck means that the bug has already being vetted, that a
fingerprint for the bug has been filed etc. Granted some gate failures may
be long lasting, but I was hoping this mechanism would target those
failures that are fixed fairly quickly.

Gate failures are not exactly low-hanging fruits so it's likely that the
author of the patch already knows that he's fixing a severe issue. The tag
would be an alert for other reviewers so that they can give the patch more
attention. As a core reviewer, I welcome any proposal that wouldn't cause a
reviewer to switch across yet another dashboard, as we already have plenty
(but maybe that's just me).

Having said that, it sounds like you guys have already thought about this,
so it makes sense to discard this idea.

Thanks,
