Queue Weekly Status 2017-09-15

Review Queue state

The tables below represent the state of the review queues at different points in time, divided into 3 “buckets” depending on how long they have been waiting. Ideally we want all add-ons in the queue to be under 5 days, so our goal is to have 100% of reviews on the third column.

New Add-ons

             10 days+     5-10 days       5 days-    Total

Admin flag: reviews escalated to admin review.
Info req: information requests to authors.

Just out of curiosity, how does the admin flagged review works?
Are you just checking diff between old and new version or the whole code every time?
And what if there are no warnings from automated tests?

I’m asking also because I want to speed-up review process for my add-ons. I’ve already invested quite a lot of time into removing all warnings - hoping it will reduce review time :slight_smile:

Thanks

I submitted a new addon on the 12th of September and it was #121 in queue. 8 days later it’s #66, so I’m expecting over a week more.

Regular reviewers can flag add-ons for admin review, which is an escalation to a smaller team of reviewers who are also employed. This is done for cases where the policies aren’t clear or a more delicate approach is needed.

Update reviews are focused on the code diff.

The code is still checked by a human.

Yay, thank you – I was waiting for it to release both Chrome and FF at the same time.
