Sometimes triggering with a key sentence starts a job based on an earlier
commit in the PR branch, and repeatedly trying to trigger can start several
jobs validating that same incorrect commit. You can see a yellow circle
next to the old commit ID when this happens. On the day of 2.22.0 cut Pablo
and I ran into this at the same time on a couple of PRs and blew up the
jenkins job queue.

Hopefully the effort Tyson mentioned will resolve that, but in the meantime
we should all double-check that we're not creating junk jobs on other
commits when furiously attempting to "retest this please".
