Breaking discussion

Continuing the discussion from Waiting for validation for 2 months ! What should I do to make it happen?:

Hi @rokdd It’d help if you listed what your addon is so we can look at it. There are many causes for admin flags.

Thanks for taking care and really appreciate it. My addon is https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/zotero-bib-autoexport i thought the accounts are even more connected :wink: . All in all my intention was to tell that the process itself is quite intransparent and slow in comparision to early dates. So maybe we can clarify this even more for my addon because I get no message why it need admin approve…

I could likely have found it, just easier this way. If you look at https://wiki.mozilla.org/AMO/Reviewers/Guide/Reviewing#Policies_and_actions_3 you’ll see you need an admin review (super review) if you use nsIProcess. Do you still use that in your addon, and is it absolutely necessary? If you can somehow remove it (or have done so already) it can be admin unflagged for you and go into normal queue.

That said, the admin queues are slower than normal reviews, but speeding up. One of the main admin reviewers has taken a vacation, and likely after they return things will get into a good groove. If you’re really concerned you can always try emailing amo-admins@mozilla.org and hope they will get back to on there, but that’s actually rather slow itself. Basically, do what you can to not require an admin.

Well thanks for checking this. Problem is that I know that a lt of people using the part of nslProcess to start the postprocessing like uploading / importing…

Yes I’m just suggesting a way to make thing faster. If there’s a way around it, doing so may make reviews easier for everyone involved, which would speed everything up.
