(Get the code!)
Scott,
The problem with allowing retrying with the original score it that we have no way to identify if the build will succeed or fail again.
Since all uploaders are allowed to retry their failures, we can't guarantee that everyone will be as conscious as you are and will not retry obvious FTBFS several times consuming build-power for nothing.
Scheduling retried build for later gives more fairness to the system granting building slots for sources that were not tried before.
Surely for the case you pointed where you do know that the failure causes are gone and retrying the source immediately is beneficial, poking a buildd-admin isn't necessarily disrupting.
