Description

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546442

"There are some r+ patches which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks."

The patches did actually land, but were backed out. There's a "Regressions" bug (which indeed also didn't have activity, but it doesn't seem the bot checked that).

Research direction

Read the linked Bugzilla report and inspect the bot's reminder logic for the message about r+ patches that did not land. Reproduce the backed-out-patch scenario and verify that reminders are not sent when the original patches landed before being backed out, while the existing inactive-bug behavior remains unchanged.
