And in the cases where it still shows no results, that'd be because
the patch set hasn't successfully applied in the past 46 days, ie
since 1 Feb, when cfbot started retaining history. That visible
amnesia should gradually disappear as those patches make progress and
the history window expands. I suppose then someone might complain
that it should be clearer if a patch hasn't applied for a very long
time; suggestions for how to show that are welcome. I wondered about
making them gradually fade out to white, ghost memories that
eventually disappear completely after a few commitfests :-D
