Bug Description

checkwatches logs an OOPS for every ProtocolError. These are often caused by the remote bug tracker being offline or otherwise broken, and most require no action on our part. At least 503 and 504 can be sensibly excluded as remote issues, and make up the majority of such exceptions.

See for example OOPS-1872CCW1022.

Do such issues get reported elsewhere - e.g. against the tracker in the web UI?

There is a BugWatchActivity table that records success and failure,
and its contents are displayed somewhere in the web UI... in the bug
watch edit page iirc, which is suboptimal; I had to look in the code
to figure out where to look.
