Hi Yufei,
I tried to grab some information around it, the best we have around per project 
is this report [1] from Apace Infra, It shows the usage to people, if they are 
part of that project.

Regarding the queue, it is not per project it is at ASF level, the response
```
there is no per-project budgeting. One giant pool, and everybody dirties it. 
the infra-reports is the best available, given limited introspection available 
from GitHub.com
the short answer is that all the runner queues are full, despite our large 
queue slot allocation
```

I even while lurking around found some projects are trying to move to 
ubuntu-slim for jobs which are small and takes less time <15mins to avoid 
queuing ubuntu-latest like here:
https://github.com/apache/magpie/pull/1190
https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/72852

So, maybe we can also move a few of our jobs to ubuntu-slim, the reasoning 
mentioned to move to ubuntu-slim was that no job can run on it more than 15 
mins and chances of runners blocked by some huge job isn't possible because it 
hard aborts at 15 minutes.

There is an Infra script added here [2] for watching out who is using how much 
in case of such outages, but nothing around to solve it yet. 

That is the best I could find :-)
