1. WORKER monitors the status of pull requests in GITHUB repos by Github API
2. WORKER monitors the status of TRYBOT by the JSON API provided by http://wrt-buildbot.bj.intel.com/buildbot/json/help
3. The dashboard in GITHUB repo actually is a comment sent by the WORKER, which can be updated by reviewers and WORKER.
4. run_trybot_github.sh is a wrap script to run depot_tools/trychange.py to create the build in trybot.
5. Reviewers can select the bots they want to try.
6. Reviewers can select the bots to rebuild the patches.
