</div>Um, dude, you are the reviewers. You guys are the "community" here.<br>
All I can do is try help you out when I can. But what you do and how<br>
you do it is really entirely up to you. It's not my place to dictate a<br>
standard for you to abide by, it's my place to try to assist you when<br>
*you* determine what the standards are to be.<br>
<br>
As I see it, the "criteria" to be used is entirely up to the<br>
reviewers. After all, you're the ones doing these reviews.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I couldn't have said it any better myself.</div><div><br></div><div>Please, group "WPORG" under the community, and take Automattic out of there. If Matt or Joseph feel they need to step in and provide direction, they will do so (and would be doing so in their community role). But you guys are doing fine.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Beyond that, Otto and I can speak to best practices. Both of us also have <a href="http://wordpress.org">wordpress.org</a> access and can make improvements to both Trac handling and the upload script. I can also provide an opinion as a member of the core team.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Otto and I are rather unique in that we do read literally every email on every mailing list. If you ever need direction on anything, just ask. We'll see it. We'll weigh in.</div></div>
