aka building ofborg on top of buildbot

Core ofborg features we need in rough order of complexity:

  • eval checks
    • should be made part of the normal buildbot eval (release-checks?)
  • rebuild count reports
    • special buildbot job that does two evals and runs a diff
    • refactor service to post results to gerrit
  • testing the affected packages
    • can we somehow use buildbot's change tracking for this? need investigating
  • magic ofborg build/eval/test commands
    • add a ForceScheduler for starters, then we can maybe do a webhook to start builds from gerrit commands
  • pinging maintainers
    • oof

Pinging maintainers should possibly be part of a separate tagging bot tbh, but I can also see wanting to just shove it in buildbot to use buildbot to deal with the gerrit API bits.

It looks like Google has a thingy here that has a web plugin for scheduling "tryjobs" that they use on chromium/gerrit/go/others https://chromium.googlesource.com/infra/gerrit-plugins/buildbucket/+/refs/heads/main/web/. We could potentially take (inspiration from) some of that code for a clean Gerrit integration.

The reason I want pinging maintainers in ofborg and not in some other place is for it to be consistent with what packages we consider "affected" by a certain PR (i.e. what gets rebuilt etc)
