I think it should make a comment if it successfully applies the patch (or
maybe set a custom last-looked-at-by-bot field?).  I also think that it
should set the bug to failed QA if whatever tests are run don't pass, but I
imagine some tweaking will be required so that it doesn't do things like
auto-fail a patch that adds a new dependency -- so maybe it should just add
a comment at first.  Once we're confident that it isn't generating false
negatives, then we could have it change the status.

Will the bot process bugs again after a suitable interval has passed?  A
patch that applies today may not apply two months from now if master has
moved on but no human has yet looked at the bug.

Regards,

Galen
