That is true; while we want to encourage and facilitate bugfixes for currently approved Themes, we still hold those Themes to the same standards, and expect the developers to remain current with respect to the Theme Review Guidelines. Note that the two-day rule will help here, as a Theme would only regress to the Priority #3 queue if/when a ticket is *closed* as not-approved.<div>
<br></div><div>That said: we could certainly consider revising the Priority #1 queue query, to include *all* Themes with a previously *approved* ticket. Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Chip<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

&gt;     The essential premises of the Trac review priority is still one of<br>

&gt;     at the top should be the prime priority theme. The Priority queues<br>
&gt;     were introduced to quickly pick out those themes (ideally previously<br>
&gt;     approved in their last submission) to pick the &quot;low hanging fruit&quot;.<br>

&gt;         &gt; Subject: [theme-reviewers] splitting reviewers between queues<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; Hello reviewers,<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; I&#39;m wondering if we should consider splitting reviewers between<br>
&gt;         some<br>
&gt;         &gt; different queues, just to keep all queues moving.<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; I haven&#39;t seen queue 1 empty yet myself since the &quot;getting back<br>
&gt;         on track&quot;<br>
&gt;         &gt; changes in December. I&#39;ve also noticed that queue 1 can get a<br>
&gt;         bit dominated<br>
&gt;         &gt; if submitters are quite active (no fault of their own -<br>
&gt;         obviously we need to<br>
&gt;         &gt; keep encouraging regular updates to themes).<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; Maybe, for now, we could assign a reviewer to each of queues 2,<br>
&gt;         3 and 4, and<br>
&gt;         &gt; everyone else plugs away as always?<br>
