So if that particular issue has been resolved, the same report won't be sent but if some other commit is pushed without resolving that particular issue then that particular error will be reported again.

That doesn't seem terribly great, while bugs and errors should be fixed when
found, sending reports of them repeatedly risk reporting-fatigue. Publishing
this report to a website would handle that I think.

One question, would this test harness detect and report potential security
issues like XSS? If so we should probably limit the audience of the report..
