And the ‘pending review’ count for plugins goes over 1000 yesterday. Currently at 1024.

No indication that there is any progress in whittling down that backlog. It would be nice to see a graph like the ‘download’ graph shown on a plugins stats page. Two data points for each day: number of plugins awaiting approval, and number of plugins approved.

The plugin review groups’ blog indicates there are more people, and more efficient processes. But that was from an entry last month (July 2023).

I’m still on the ‘Please hold; your call is important to us’ queue. There’s no indication from anyone that the backlog is going to improve in my lifetime.
