 Currently the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/add/ plugin
 submission form] includes a notice that shows how many plugins are
 awaiting review, and the current wait time.

 Given that our wait times are currently very long, I propose adding a
 secondary notice to this page, with text along these lines:

 > We are currently experiencing long delays in plugin review times. To
 help us approve your plugin sooner, please ensure that you have read the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/security/ Security chapter] of the
 Plugin Handbook.
 >
 > Our three most common reasons for not approving a plugin are:
 > - The plugin contains unescaped output:
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/security/escaping/ Learn about
 Escaping Data]
 > - The plugin accepts unsanitized data:
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/security/sanitizing/ Learn about
 Sanitising Data]
 > - The plugin processes form data without a nonce:
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/security/nonces/ Learn about Nonces]
 >
 > If the code in your plugin falls into one of the above categories,
 **your plugin will not be approved**. The plugin review team will refer
 you back to these Handbook pages, adding further delay to the review
 process.

 It's my hope that this type of notice will reduce the amount of
 submissions that require multiple reviews.
