Evaluate Helpers - introduce common, object to allow greater detail of error?

[baranowb]

Right now, due to shortcomings of drools we either stick to simple checks or move code to java helpers, which return true /false. possibly we could either add argument or return value which could provide greater detail of error reporting?

Just a thought.

Why not ? I think anyway, after the Janitor integration, we will need to seriously enhance/rework some part of Bugclerk. Perfect time to also think about that!

Not only this. This will allow more fine grained checks. ie, if pull requests need to be scrutinized, with current helpers it is possible to trigger violation on single instance of PR+issue pair, rather than for each violation. Sure, in the end, after N iterations, you will see all of them.

An exemple of a method that could be moved to Aphrodite for instance.
