Let's take one of the lix-installer builds as an example: https://buildbot.lix.systems/#/changes/5457

It is really hard to work with. The pagination has a few issues:

The list is updated in-place: you can't use "go to previous page" to see previous pagination page (and there's no button to do it), and you can't link a certain page to people
It takes a long time to load each page
There's just one button: "go to next page". I want more buttons: number buttons, next/prev buttons, first/last buttons
The table is a lie: you can't sort entries by any of the columns
Isn't paginating by 10 elements way too conservative, anyway?
No search

The list of issues is non-exhaustive, but hopefully it shows that the "viewing builds" user story is seriously lacking due to bad pagination.
