Can you post numbers for QtBase only instead? That's the most active, the most 
strictly reviewed (more iterations), and the repo where breakage has the most 
impact.

Hear, hear! I wonder if it's possible for the CI system to maintain and clone 
a working master build which patches could be applied to and build 
incrementally? (an un-clean build)

Agreed. Quite annoying. Getting approval scores in reviews is only the 
beginning because CI still has to be started at that point.
