Infinite loop for failing issue sync in queues

Problem/Motivation

When synchronising issue with the queue and that fails e.g. because the user name admin can not be used, then this throws a requeue exception and the same items gets processed again right away. Of course, it then fails again, and that runs into an infinite loop.

The same problem is likely to happen for other sync queues as well.

Proposed resolution

Sounds like some tasks need to be taken.

For some error types, we should not requeue because we know that this will never succeed.

For others, we should at least write log messages so that the site owner knows what's going wrong. The requeue should probably only happen with a delay.

Do we also need something like a max retry threshold? I wonder if the Drupal queue API already supports that?
