Description

Since we are changing the workflow of how we handle rejections without progress in the directory, we need to change the email sent to plugin authors.

That's the reason_3_month email/function, the content of the email can be found here https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/blob/fa8b8fa2d04f6570f1ead54dd51056abb95bce6c/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/plugin-directory/email/class-plugin-rejected.php#L60

This would be the entire new content for that email.

Your plugin has been rejected because it has been roughly 90 days without significant progress being made on the review we sent to the email address on record at the beginning of the review.

<strong>What to do next</strong>

If you no longer wish to have your plugin reviewed you can simply delete this message. No harm, no foul.

If you want to finish your review, please do the following:
<ul>
<li><strong>First</strong>, find the last email we sent you with our latest review, check out that email thoroughly and <strong>fix the issues mentioned</strong>.</li>
<li>Once your plugin is corrected, you are ready to <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/add/">resubmit it</a> and <strong>reply to this email</strong> so we know you want to continue.</li>
</ul>

We understand that sometimes emails get lost or mistakenly filed as spam, and it's entirely possible that you never received or seen our previous emails. If you can't find it, let us know and we'll send it to you again.

<strong>Why this happens</strong>

In order to keep the plugin queue manageable, we reject plugins that are not making progress after 3 months (90 days). Even with this policy, we have more than 500 plugins waiting for developers to complete their review at any given time.

Thankfully, a rejection does not mean we can't go forward. If you want to continue, please just update your plugin, submit it and reply to let us know.
