Queue Weekly Status 2017-04-07

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.

Hi jorgev,

I’d be interested in seeing a table for add-ons flagged for admin review. We’ve been waiting more than 90 days.

Add-ons flagged for admin review tend to accumulate near the top of the queues, since we only have a couple of active admin reviewers. I can’t really spend the time creating a report now, but it’s a big problem for sure. We’re bringing in more reviewers soon, and making big changes to the process, all of which should make a noticeable difference in the coming months. For now things are just terribly slow, and we apologize for it.
