<div>Unless other group participants take a position here, I'll
postpone the idea for now since it could get messy and involve
specific theme review rules, their significance, reviewer's

<div>Personally, I would like to see this stay at the
informal, discretion-of-the-Reviewer level, rather than
try to formalize the criteria for review continuation.
But, if you think it merits further consideration, we
can certainly discuss!</div>

I know we partially do it already (given the two
examples of yours) but I think that it might be a
good practice to set a rule and extend this, let's
say (just as a sample) - up to 5 required and 10
recommended issues that apparently might be fixed
in a few hours, we give 48 hours (or 2 business
days) for the author to fix them, if not, the
ticket is closed and not approved.
<div>

I know that agencies, companies and teams with
resources spending their time completely in the
WordPress ecosystem could react and we could
speed up the process instead of getting the new
version on the next day and waiting for another
month and another close.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Mario,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not sure I'm completely
following your question.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm talking specifically about
two cases:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
1. Where in the current ticket, the
reviewer says, "hey, I found these
one or two, really minor, but
required issues; I'm approving the
Theme, but please fix them in the
next revision"</div>
<div>2. Where in the current ticket,
the reviewer says, "hey, you missed
this required thing; please fix it
and re-submit. I'll hold your ticket
open so you don't have to wait in
line again"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Both of these things do help
expedite the process, and make it
less frustrating for the developer.
But, we have to make sure that we
verify that the *required* issues
identified in each case are resolved
in the subsequent ticket.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I *think* you're talking about
"holding open" tickets in general?
If so, that's not something that
we've really addressed. Might be
worth a discussion, perhaps?</div>
<div>
<br>

<div>Thanks,</div>

<div>Chip, isn't it 'good to
have' to keep tickets open? In
my opinion most themes need
approx. 3-4 iterations to get
in and given the stats, that
might take few months even
though fixes might take a few
hours.
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>IMO theme authors that
prioritize theme submissions
should have a fast lane open
when the feedback could
apparently be resolved in a
few hours. This is in case
reviewers conduct a complete
review and not a quick look
only.<span><font

<div>This is

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Two, we have a
great system in
place, that allows a
reviewer to hold a
ticket open if only
minor issues need to
be addressed, such
that once a revision
is submitted, the
reviewer can
continue the current
review in the new
ticket. If the
previous ticket is
still open, the new
ticket should be
left for the
reviewer of the
previous ticket, so
that the previous
review may be
continued.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I had two such
tickets over the
weekend: both had
previous-ticket
"required" issues
that were not
addressed. I left
the tickets open to
allow for a review
continuation. Both
developers uploaded
revisions, but when
I went in this
morning to take the
tickets, both had
been assigned,
reviewed, and
closed. Unfortunately,
in both cases, the
review failed to
indicate whether
previous-ticket
"required" issues
had been addressed.</div>
