Well, that is because tracker.d.o (and qa.d.o) are slow in updating the
excuses generated by britney (Myon already commented on qa.d.o needing
to update some cron jobs). If you want it now, you can find the link in
https://release.debian.org/britney/update_excuses.html or .yaml
(canonical location, but very large page), or with some manual
interaction, find the run_id (number in the URL from the log on ci.d.n)
and add that to https://ci.debian.net/api/v1/retry/<number_here>

I believe it is sensible, but coding wise it isn't trivial.
