That's all out of my area of knowledge, but make sure you have a talk
with Bernhard, I think you both have a very clear view of what is needed
and the available options.

We have both user management and a visual editor of needles. As user you
can be an admin or an operator. Operators have access to the needle
editor in which you can modify needles in the browser (just on a failed
test, right now). When clicking on "save" in the editor, a new needle
will be created in the local instance of openQA and a pull request will
be sent to the corresponding repository so the new needle is added to
Github. Then, you can click on the restart button to restart the test
using the new needles. If somebody want to try, just log into
https://openqa.opensuse.org and ping me (I'm admin, so I can promote you
to operators).

Cheers.
