The current situation is really painful.
Looking at mips and its backlog of less than 10 packages, I don't know why you write "months". There is no package currently waiting for being built for more than a day on mips (or at least: hadn't been tried since less than a day - things like the mysql-hickup may make a difference here, but that's not mips specific). Of course, accidents happen as on any architecture, e.g. recently a buggy package decided to block a buildd exclusivly for two weeks until I manually kill the build (activly circumventing the buildds safety mechanismn), but that could happen on any hardware and architecture.
