Bug Description

Other bugs have been filed about testfix mode and the incomprehensible errors one gets sent when a submission is rejected by PQM (e.g. bug 422964).

This bug is about something more interesting, it's impossible to tell for sure if we are in testfix. Although you _could_ look at the buildbots and see if one has failed, that will give you a false value if someone has submitted a testfix patch.

I feel obliged to mention something about Lean and pull-based signaling, but I can't think what.

This bug could also be summarized as "PQM sucks". We should probably have a build queue on Launchpad.

I've toggled this up to high as part of our general 'do not interrupt the losas' concern, however I suspect that the SMM project may obsolete testfix altogether, in which case we can just close this bug. if it doesn't obsolete stuff though, we should definitely do it soon.

This is no longer relevant now that we've migrated to git and are no longer using PQM for merges.
