Thanks for working on this.
(As usual, it's a project I would like to work on myself, but won't have
the time)
Conceptually, it's very simple - developers produce changesets and place
them in a presubmit queue for their chosen repo, and they end up in the
repo when they have passed all the tests.  The maintainers of the repo
define the set of tests - "how high to set the bar".  When tests fail, the
changeset is rejected and (only!) the submitter is notified.  Meta-tests
like "must have jdk11u-fix-yes label in JIRA" count!
