What good is it going to do if no one knows to look?
Or if they always fail and therefore no one pays attention.
Until there is a stable set of tests that are known to consistently
succeed and which will not deadlock the build slaves if they fail
in just the right way?

The only builders that get regular attention are the ones that break
the verification of patchsets in gerrit.   All of the others are=20
ignored.  To fix that
part, failing builders that are not gerrit triggered should send an=20
e-mail.
Perhaps to openafs-devel.

You do not need more slaves.  You just need to configure the slaves=20
differently.
All of the Windows builders are the same machine.  The builders just=20
need to be
configured to offer additional build configurations.
