Bug Description

I'm pushing & releasing a snap to the store with:

snapcraft push <my-snap> --release stable

and the store is raising a warning when running the automated reviews. Snapcraft gives me the following output:

"""
Publishing checks failed.
To release this to stable channel please request a review on the snapcraft list.
Use devmode in the edge or beta channels to disable confinement.
"""

There's a few issues here:

 First, snapcraft is assuming that the issue here is confinement-related (in my case it wasn't). I worry that this output will lead users down the wrong path.

 Second, up to this point I've never had to open my browser to build, push, and release a snap. A user may well not know that 'myapps.developer.ubuntu.com' is a thing. Ideally we'd add something like:

"For more information about the specific error, please see: http://myapps...."

*or* perhaps we could include the review issues in the snapcraft output. Either way, we need to give the user more information than we do currently.

This might be indeed need retouching.

As soon as the store returns that url we will use it.

I am on holidays, but there is another bug open for this, the store
isn't giving us any information to work with or url to resolve to.
