Describe the bug
The Blink process is designed for the web platform, and thus expects web-platform-tests. WPT is not well-suited for testing networking features, which are web-platform-visible, but below most abstractions in the web platform proper. For example, any features that involve TLS cannot be tested with WPT: web-platform-tests/wpt#20159
The form in chromestatus.com tries to account for this by having both a "Web Platform Tests" checkbox and a freeform "Web Platform Tests Description" field. The latter's description says:
Please link to the results on wpt.fyi. If any part of the feature is not tested by web-platform-tests, please include links to issues, e.g. a web-platform-tests issue with the "infra" label explaining why a certain thing cannot be tested (example), a spec issue for some change that would make it possible to test. (example), or a Chromium issue to upstream some existing tests (example).
However, the Intent-to-Ship email template ignores this field and only displays:
Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?
No
This is confusing to Blink owners, who are now missing important context. The email template should not elide this context.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Launch a networking feature
Leave WPT checkbox off, follow the instructions to link a bug for why WPT is not possible
Send Intent to Ship based on instructions
Expected behavior
Blink owners see the WPT test explanation without having to spend an email round-trip asking why.
