As you may know, qa.guix is using separate hardware and software
infrastructure from ci.guix, based on the Build Coordinator and the Data
Service.

It’s unclear to me why issues are sometimes seemingly not picked up.
Chris, do you have more insight into this?

Anyway, there’s a trick: Philip, if you rebase your patch series and
resend it, qa.guix is like to consider it again and to spawn builds.
Please consider doing that!
