The attention set was designed to help Gerrit users focus on changes that require them to take action. A set of default rules helps to bring changes to a user's attention, for example, when a reviewer has posted comments. For CI results, these default rules aren't as useful. For example: one might not care if one of the CI checks that have to run come back as SUCCESS, but only if it fails. To allow for a base distinction, this change allows to classify a user as a 'bot' by checking for a membership in the existing "Non-Interactive Users" group. That is just one out of many possible solutions and we consider it to be interim. Other potential solutions include: 1) Distinguishing robot and human labels 2) Adding an isRobot bit to an account 3) Using capabilities or feature flags 4) Using group membership (this change) This change unblocks attention set while allowing for more time to define a long-term strategy given these options.

Gerrit Code Review
Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
