Yes that would save me time.

Something that strikes me immediately.

* If a CI run makes doc are we going to have an entry and or label in 
the comment for a success/failure?

I don't want to bother with any test if make/make doc fails, so I assume 
that it will change the label to take it off patch new. But at the same 
time if a patch is 'new' and hasn't had the make/make doc test, do I 
still run the make check anyway? If so then it passed the label would go 
to review and I assume the CI run would still catch that and do the 
make/make doc. Otherwise I am going to not only have to check for a 
patch 'new' I am going to have to know that it is waiting on a make doc 
first if you see what I mean? (will I have to second guess the CI so to 
speak)

Thanks.
