Me too, hence my earlier message to QA list quoted below.  I see there's
also a UI to claim a build if you login, e.g.
<
https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/BrowserTests/job/browsertests-Flow-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox-sauce/36/>
has

"This build was claimed by jdlrobson on Jun 30, 2014 4:47:56 PM. Claim for
yourself.
<https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/BrowserTests/job/browsertests-Flow-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox-sauce/36/#>

Reason: Appears to be issues with logging in."
Something else to try.
