Description
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.
