"Something went wrong!" is a poor error message #315

When something goes wrong, githubbot sends the message "Something went wrong!"

This message gives no clues about how to solve the problem. It does not say any of these:

what to do about it
who to talk to
where to look for more information
what went wrong

An error message should give at least one clue.

In particular, subscribers to githubbot are probably devs, or have devs nearby, and could cope with a backtrace.

Thanks!
