What triggers these maybe-run-build checks? Is it pretty much any action like another build finishing? I've been trying to find this in the code and havent yet found it.

That's all of the things that call maybeStartBuild.  If I recall, Dan
Locks pointed out a bug where a released lock does not automatically
retry build scheduling, and that has been fixed.
