Colin Watson (cjwatson) wrote : exceptions processing single uploads shouldn't crash the whole publisher

Recently we've had a couple of errors processing single uploads that crashed the entire publisher and required me to phone people and take them away from what they would otherwise have been doing on a Saturday. In both cases (one was due to the rare case of multiple custom upload entries in a .changes file, another due to a zero-length .pot file), it seems unnecessary for these failures to take out the entire publisher for many hours. Could the publisher catch these errors, report them somewhere, and carry on?
