I guess you've managed to get sanity into a situation where it doesn't give a
sanity score at all.

Then once the bot looks at the commits it hasn't scored yet, it will repeat that
again and again.

Could you run sanity bot locally and see what is happening to it? There is a git
hook in qtrepotools to do it when you commit.
