 6.  Maybe we can reassign abandoned tickets via button? First move them to “abandoned”
     queue and then assign via “request button”. Maybe we can even move tickets automatically
     to “abandoned queue” when there is no response for 7 day.

 10. +1 for Urlrich’s suggestion for abandoned ticket, but now it seems a reviewer 
     cannot re-assign it.
 11. If a theme author is aware about their ticket queue priority(which will be high)
     for re-assignment, it will surely bring down the amount of re-assign notifications
     an admin receives.
 12. I also think, rather CC’ing an admin about re-assign and closed-newer-version-
     uploaded tag, if they are also made available for reviewers it could be handy.

      * The problem is that we are unable to set the themes to status new. [@otto42](https://profiles.wordpress.org/otto42/)
        Do you think it would be possible to get an option added to the UIUI UI is 
        an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with.
        Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. to be abe
        change the status from reviewing to new?

         - I would be against that. It’s a psychological step back for any review to
           be then put as new again. We also have the knock on effect onto a few reports
           then. Lets not have that as an option.

      * A reviewer shouldn’t be able to re-assign. Finding a way to do this without
        having re-assigning on the reviewer side is essential.

         - I agree with you, as I could see admins are getting notifications for re-
           assignment, I guess re-assign option could ease an admins work(a bit).
         - I did see those re-assign options for re-opened tickets of navsingh, so 
           that made me ask.

 16. Last week I plucked up my courage and decided to click the Request a theme to 
     review button. I’m not an expert and I only had my first WP.org blogging theme
     approved less than a couple of weeks ago (it’s not live yet). However, I read 
     about the presence of mentors for new reviewers and this convinced me to take 
     the plunge. I pressed the button and I got assigned a feature-rich magazine theme
     with quite a few theme options and other stuff. At the same time, I don’t know
     who the mentor for this ticket is or if I can talk to him/her about my concerns.
     On the other hand, the options on the ticket are quite restrictive: approve or
     don’t approve and I don’t feel that I can make this decision by myself at this
     very early stage. I hope today’s meeting will be of help.

      * Great, We are working on improving the mentor process. When reviewing the theme
        you should leave it on status reviewing so that the ticket stays open and the
        theme author can upload updates. If you have any questions you can ask them
        in the SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).

        There is always someone there who can help. PingPing The act of sending a very
        small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit
        a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term
        used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users 
        might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” me
        on Slack if you have any more questions. 🙂
