Description

Before pushing to an existing PR, the sync infra should look at the GitHub checks and ping the devs if the situation needs intervention.

Upstream sync PRs sometimes go red: the patches won't apply cleanly, the patches or our infra causes tests to fail, or tests are flaky. There could also have a problem that makes CI hang forever (perhaps not our fault--e.g. a GitHub web hook outage). For any of these reasons, a dev should probably get involved.
