Description
As a plugin reviewer, when checking in the "Edit plugin" page a plugin that has release confirmations activated and the author pushed an update to the SVN without confirming or being able to confirm it.
Sometimes I do mistakes cause I don't notice that the plugin has pending release confirmations. Currently there is a metabox to check for this but it uses to be long and normally is out of sight for the reviewer.
This happens, as example, when:
- Responding to a request for a published plugin that the author forgot about, or have problems confirming the release.
- Reviewing closed/disabled plugins as they cannot approve their own releases, so those need to be managed by the reviewer.
The proposal is to somehow warn the reviewer about a pending release confirmation in the edit plugin page.
Idea 1:
A notice in the top of the page. Showing that the plugin has a release confirmation pending and ideally buttons to confirm or discard it.
Idea 2:
A warning in the Plugin Controls metabox "⚠️ Has a pending release confirmation" linked to the "Plugin Release Confirmation" metabox.
