After adding a new plugin, authors can check the status of the submission
at https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/add/
When the submission is in "Pending" status (this is the status it changes
to when a reviewer initiates a review) authors see this message there:
> Review status: Being Reviewed — This plugin is currently waiting on
action from you. Please check your email for details.
The review process requires several email exchanges in which either the
reviewer waits for the author's reply or the author waits for the
reviewer's reply.
Some authors have been feel confused by this message when they are waiting
for the reviewer's response, as it states that is "waiting on action from
you" so they think they missed an email.
Also, some authors had troubles finding the initial email the reviewer
sent to them. Sometimes it goes to spam and they need to check that
manually.
The proposal is to change this message to:
> Review Status: In Review — The team sent you an email ''<Plugin changed
to pending timediff>'' with the subject "[WordPress Plugin Directory]
Review in Progress: ''<Plugin name>''". Please check it and continue to
reply to our emails regarding necessary changes (if you haven’t seen that
email, please check your spam)
Being:
* ''<Plugin changed to pending timediff>'': The timediff to the date when
the plugin changed to "Pending" status (this date is not the same to the
updated date, so might need a new meta).
* ''<Plugin name>'': The current plugin name on the repository (the_title)
Example:
> Review Status: In Review — The team sent you an email 6 days ago with
the subject "[WordPress Plugin Directory] Review in Progress: Hello
Dolly". Please check it and continue to reply to our emails regarding
necessary changes (if you haven’t seen that email, please check your spam)
