The volunteers at WP org try to do a good job and keep things running. There is a change in personnel of the plugin review team. I understand there is a backlog, so hopefully they will be able to get caught up.

The WP org team has implemented new filters on the plugin and theme searches for “Commercial” and “Community.”

We are used to following the WordPress core team, but don’t hear much about the Polyglots Team. This article provides information about how they are organized and what they do.
