The discussion revolves around the process for getting a theme-component PR reviewed, particularly for the easy-responsive-footer plugin. ganncamp submitted a revised PR after cleaning up their initial messy attempt and asked whether there’s a typical review timeline or if they should have requested approval before implementing the feature. awesomerobot clarified that while no formal timeline exists, posting on Meta helps draw attention — and they committed to reviewing the PR within a day or two. nathank shared another pending PR, unsure how to nudge reviewers without seeming pushy. chapoi offered to personally help get it noticed. The PR was eventually merged by awesomerobot. JammyDodger reopened the topic to address the broader question of how to effectively chase PR reviews, especially for core or official plugins. They suggest opening a Development topic on Meta and tagging them directly — they’ll personally follow up to ensure the PR gets reviewed or at least acknowledged. The consensus is that Meta posts and direct tags are the most effective ways to get attention, since many maintainers don’t actively monitor GitHub PRs.
My first run at this PR was pretty messy, I admit. I’ve since closed the initial PR, squashed commits and resubmitted.
Is there a typical timeline for plugin PR review?
Did I flub in not first asking for the functionality? It seemed like it ought to be pretty simple to do, so I thought I’d just “get 'er done!”
Even a “thanks, no thanks” would be fine…
No, not really! Though it’s helpful if you post on Meta about it (I’ll take a look within the next day or two in this case).
We’ve got one waiting for review too:
I wasn’t sure how to get someone’s attention on it without @mentioning / pestering
I’ll pull someone’s sleeve for you 
I’ve just merged this. 
Thanks!
I’ve reopened this one as though this particular PR has been merged the general question of what to do to nudge a PR is still a little open.
From my viewpoint, I don’t keep track of PRs on GitHub (
) so I think if we’re looking for a more formal answer to ‘what can I do to chase up a PR review for core or something official’ I think opening a Development topic here on meta would be a good way to get it some extra attention. Feel free to @JammyDodger me and I’ll do my best to hound people and get it reviewed (or at least looked at).
