I started taking a look, and this looks very very nice.
The interface already looks quite sleek and polished!

We've all already seen that the bot help us a couple of times
associate regressions with specific commits, so I know it's going
to be really useful, and I look forward to more reports (actually,
not really, but that wouldn't be the bot's fault ;-)).

Perhaps you might want to present it and give a demo at the next
GNU Cauldron :-)...
