I agree, we should grant more people access - see my previous email on this 
thread asking Uwe to grant access to you. 

In this case, the fault is mine - I had forgotten about the required sysprop 
setting.

Agreed - see my comments below.

What Uwe means (referring to an IRC conversation where I told him what I did) 
is that I cloned an older version of the job (created by Uwe for the 4.3 
branch), and it was not kept up-to-date like the branch_4x job.

I think the fix for this systemic staleness issue is to only clone active (and 
actively maintained) jobs.  In this specific instance, I should have cloned the 
branch_4x job instead of the 4.3 branch job.
