it happened here https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117494 - a different PR, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121523, started being tested - CI failed - the tree was closed after a retry and then tried a few times - meanwhile, our friend 117494 was being try built - after the tree was reopened, somehow 117494 started being shown as currently testing - the try build completed - probably because the "Mark job as successful" job doesn't run in try, bors thought that it hasn't completed - Several hours later, it was still marked as testing, blocking the queue - I did bors retry, throwing it out and unblocking the queue - I closed the PR anyways because I was afraid bors would just push to master after the try build - I reopened the PR and tried again - it was now also makes as testing, not trying! - I closed the PR - PR's haunted
