In reply to Sebastien Dumont.

There are a few reasons for the long wait times.
- The first being the number of people doing reviews. The more reviewers we have the more themes can be reviewed at one time.
- Secondly is the quality of the themes submitted. If we could just approve every theme that is submitted then we would be a lot faster. For some themes it take multiple reviews for them to be ready to be approved.
- Sometimes both theme reviewers and theme authors are not able to give an update within a couple of days and this drags the review time out. It is understandable that people have the responsibilities other then contributing.

There are a few things that you can do to help speed it up.
- Help review themes
- Make sure your theme is near perfect and you understand all of the requirments. Perhaps ask a friend to look at your theme.
- Help with writing the automation checks. This is a great time to start learning regex. There are great online tools that help you like https://regex101.com/
