 That's never really been the case, it's ''mostly'' FIFO, but there's no
 hard rule that reviews must be done in order.

 It's also totally understandable that someone would pick and choose "easy"
 reviews in a given state-of-mind, being able to quickly approve (or
 reject!) a dozen plugins is just as useful as performing a single big-
 plugin review (And believe me, there's some doozies sometimes, I'm talking
 10+ MB of PHP).

 I've personally looked at adding these fields in the past, and I found it
 didn't actually help as much as I thought it would. I believe I've
 previously shared a spreadsheet with the reviewers of the Zip size / LOC
 for pending plugins, and it didn't show much benefit.

 Fewer lines of code mean fewer things to review, but it doesn't
 necessarily reduce the number of issues that need to be addressed in that
 code.

 Smaller ZIPs should technically be faster to review, but a 5KB zip file
 can contain a lot of compressed text data, that a 1MB zip containing a
 dozen screenshots and a fraction of that in text.

 I'll see if the code I had for this is still handy, and see about adding
 it.
