This wasn't a mistake - it was very delibrate, precisely so that all
involved in QEMU development will see the failures, instead of expecting
a handful of people to take all the work of dealing with failures. In
general anyone who's a regular contributor has a shared responsibility
to help keep QEMU building reliably.

Given the overall volume of mail on qemu-devel, a handful of notifications
from CI each day is not a burden IMHO.
