There has been some recent discussion between reviewers and Otto on how to improve our review process and speed.
Some of the ideas for the review queue:
- Auto reject plugins with non-standard characters in their names
- Highlight plugins that contain “plugin” in their name, since this isn’t allowed (usually)
- Auto detecting the presence of readme.txt files inside of .zip archives and auto reject those without one
Some ideas for improving SupportPress:
- User lookup from password reset (completed)
- Set “Send and Close” to be the default action (complete)
- Showing replies at the top of emails by default
