[policy review 2024-10] Testing core gate, heuristics section

Problem/Motivation

This is to review the heuristics in Upload a test case that fails → section of the Testing core gate. The heuristics were added in 🌱 [policy, no patch] Better scoping for bug fix test coverage RTBC

To be clear, this is not a review of the Testing gate as a whole, just this one part.

Some questions to consider

• Are the heuristics working well?
• Are there any issues where the heuristics did not help?
• Have the heuristics been tested with issue that are difficult, for any reason?

Possible resolutions

• Keep the heuristics as they are
• Tweak the heuristics
• Remove the heuristics
• Needs more use, so review in N months.
• Working well, review in N years.
