All I am not sure if this is proper for a newbie, but I think it's well-deserved and necessary. Just since the beginning of the year the review process and reduction of time in the queues have been great. For instance almost 100 new/update reviews occurred in August alone.  We improved the compatibility count with several important extensions across-the-board.  I should be publishing an update for the extension statistics and I will note the recent activity. Several reviewers are not only extension reviewers, but also busy core team members and extension developers themselves.  Bottom line -  a whole lot of effort all around and very important for the 68 ESR. Kudos to all ! If you are a extension developer interested in getting more down and dirty and helping with reviews, please contact Sylvain or myself, the more reviewers we have the faster everyone's extensions get out the door.  I can personally state it's also a great learning experience because you can never know too much!

Yes, we made great progress. That said, sadly at time of writing, there are still five updates waiting for more than 140 days and and about 30 new add-ons waiting for more than a month, 21 of which have been waiting for more than 100 days. How can we address this? If they are awaiting a reply from the authors, IMHO we should just reject them. Jörg.
