Travis notifications for trunk?

[Joe Orton <jo...@redhat.com>]

In the past two weeks we've had three true negative build failures from 
Travis on trunk - i.e. bugs were introduced and CI caught them - and one 
false negative (where the gcc 9 build broke because of some change in 
the Ubuntu repo).  So I think we're reaching the point where signal is 
dominating noise.

Is everybody OK with sending e-mail notifications for CI failures for 
trunk to this list?  It's quite likely we will still see occassional 
false negatives, and can continue to mark as "allowed failure" any build 
combination which looks unstable, so it doesn't fail the job overall.

As with 2.4.x we will only see fail->pass and pass->fail transitions via 
e-mail notification.

Regards, Joe

+1, thanks a lot to all the people that have worked to make Travis
checks better!
