 After 90 days without a response, plugin submissions that are in the
 review process and never responded are rejected.

 Currently, this is a manual bulk process, where members of the team get
 together from time to time to go through all the submissions that are
 awaiting a response from the author, and reject any that haven't received
 a response in the last 90 days.

 To give an idea of the scale of this, statistically half of the submitted
 plugins do not complete the review process, and there are currently 2261
 reviews that are awaiting a response from the author.

 The proposal is to make an **automated process that auto-rejects
 submissions** that comply with this conditions.

 Nowadays all plugins in the `pending` status update their `last_updated`
 date to the date when the latest version of the plugin was uploaded, also
 `assigned_reviewer_time` holds the date the plugin was assigned to a
 reviewer, so this already has something done.

 An automated process that rejects all the plugins that are in the
 `pending` status and their `last_updated` and `assigned_reviewer_time`
 date are higher than 90 days ago.
