I implemented new function to our bot, now it notifies the #wikimedia-labs channel everytime there are people who are waiting, so hopefully it won't happen in future ;)
you can always type @requests in #wikimedia-labs to get a list of users waiting for a shell access

Labs is a virtualized environment that's meant for test, development and semi-production uses such as bots or tools. Shell access gives you the ability to ssh into instances (specifically the bastion). Without shell, it's impossible to ssh into any instances.
