[dpdk-ci] [RFC pw-ci] pw_mon: check for recheck requested comments

[Lincoln Lavoie]

Hi Aaron,

For planning, we have this on our development schedule in the community lab
for the "Q3 Sprint" so that would likely happen during the second half of
the summer.  I don't think we had any specific comments on the mail /
request syntax.  I think a lot more of the devils are in the details around
storing off the information like message IDs, etc.  As well as how long
we're looking for retest requests, i.e. the "active" patches, etc.

Cheers,
Lincoln
