IMO, a flakey test should just be disabled until someone makes time to
fix it. But, why is builds.a.o blocking you from making a release?
You'll be building the release locally anyways [1].

Caleb and I went to cut a RC yesterday, and it seems like the build is in
an unstable state. It seems like a strange, non-deterministic test failure
that might be related to the builder server. I've documented it here:
RYA-171 - Mongo Tests are not Cleaning Up
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RYA-171
Should we continue with the 3.2.10-RC or wait until this is fixed?
Also, the Apache Build server is slammed. Yesterday it took 1.5 hours to
get a machine to start our build :/
