We will certainly improve that. But for the near future I don't see
much ways to change the notification system (using Bodhi comments).
We can either have it the way it is or disable it completely (we
can't use opting in/out, we must operate on all updates or none of
them).
I believe the current state is good enough to have AutoQA comments
enabled, even though it's not perfect. You may disagree. If many
maintainers claim they would rather have AutoQA completely disabled,
we can do it. But the current state helps us fix the tests
tremendously. In the mean time, we work on improving the AutoQA
architecture.
As a simple workaround for you (and maybe for some others), why don't
you define a simple mail filter that detects an AutoQA Bodhi comment
and marks it as read if it contains PASSED comment? That will save
you from wasting time reading them.
Another option is to work with Bodhi authors to implement your ideas.
It will be great if you do.
To add a little more detail, we are working on this [1], but I don't
think that any fix will make it into the production systems for at least
a week or two.
Until that happens, the best workaround that we can suggest is to use an
email filter like Kamil suggested.
Again, thanks for your feedback and patience.
