Jari,
I think that if we want to improve this, we should first define what an acceptable time for a response from an author (or AD) is.Yes. The IESG talked about new stretch goal times for the time between publication request and draft approval. These would be 6 weeks for drafts without changes and 8 weeks + any author time for others. In addition, when the draft enters a state where we are waiting for the AD to do something, we'd like to see some action within two weeks.I think two weeks would be a good default maximum time for authors to respond or react with a new document version.
Can we make this two-way? "author or AD is expected to respond in 2
weeks". I recently had a draft stuck for almost 8 weeks due to an
unresponsive AD :-(
