Is that really worth it? These are all transient errors with no danger
of anyone forgetting to fix them. Once fixed, they are generally of no
further interest. Why clutter up the bug tracker with them? It seems
easy to see if the last mail in the buildstatus list has "failed" in the
subject, or to look at the hydra summary page. Having a bug seems no
easier to me.
