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."
