I don't see what the problem is in having a single response to the
thread saying that the test was run, the result of the run, and a link
to a page about it.  It's certainly less mail than I get in the course
of a normal review cycle about patch series I'm not interested in.

I mean, suppose we just had a really enthusiastic contributor who made
it their personal goal to test and build every patch that was sent to
the list.  Would anyone really complain about a single extra mail per
series, when a typical series generates dozens of human-generated mails
anyway?
