This is somewhat related to bug 35943. I see this sort of thing regularly: 14:45 <jackmcbarn> why is jenkins-bot failing my commit for stuff i didn't touch? 14:45 <jackmcbarn> https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/97855/ 14:46 <ori-l> jackmcbarn: it's the last failure that is causing it to veto 14:46 jackmcbarn looks The meaning of '(non-voting)' is not very obvious, I think. We ask human reviewers to be explicit in identifying their grounds for -1 patches; I don't see why Jenkins-bot couldn't be held to the same standard :) IMHO, just exclude non-voting tests from Jenkins's comments. Do people actually look at them?
The non-voting jobs are there for information. People do look at them, for example the PHP CodeSniffer ones being run on MediaWiki core. Whenever they are reliably passing, they are made voting.
