[JENKINS-73430] Selective e-mail recipients determined during build

[jenkins-infra-bot]

I have a set of tests for which I need to inform specific persons:

• if test A1, A2 or A3 fails, an e-mail should be sent to person A
• if test B1, B2 fails, an e-mail should be sent to person B
• etc.

What would be a good approach to let the build decide what recipients to send the e-mail to? Perhaps an environment variable can be set which is then added to the mailer configuration of the project?

  Perhaps a safer approach is invert the logic and create separate jobs for each person that needs to be informed and then run only those tests:
  
  	
  Job for person A: run tests A1, A2 and A3
  	
  Job for person B: run tests B1, B2
