Ah, missed that.  I'll go use that.

Also, I just remembered that if you look in the email headers, there's a
"X-KernelTest-Deadline:" field that uses the --iso-8601=minutes format.
I think kernelci uses that to parse for when it needs to finish things
by, but I don't know if that actually happens or not.

I'll go fix the string up for the next round.
