Page for build doesn't say where in the queue it is

Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone

Bug Description

When a build hasn't started yet, its build page says how long it has been waiting in the queue, but doesn't say what its position in the queue is.

Disclosing this number, even if it increases occasionally as higher-priority builds are pushed to the front, would help reassure people that the build wasn't stuck.

[Originally suggested by Jared Greenwald in #launchpad.]

It may save time to fix this bug at the same time as bug 194262 and/or bug 52264..

And if "build score" is meant to be something related to this (or even if not) it would be good to have some explanatory text.

I agree that if the "build score" value has some relation to the queue position, that should be explained somewhere. Actually, even if its not related, is there some documentation that explains what the value represents? That could be at least a start.

Now that we have estimated build start times, I'm not convinced that showing a queue position is of any use. Can anyone see a use-case for it?
