I can. The frequency is different per package, depending on the number of past failures. The frequency exponentially slows down with more failures. There must have been a general problem, because we have many packages with high retry counts. I'm now lowering the retry counts manually to speed up processing. The source code is here : anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/qa/trunk/mole/watch-requeue/watch-requeue.pl?view=markup Look for "number of days to wait before trying again".
