Hi Jean,

this is amazing.

I used to take the transition to RFC-EDITOR state as my scheduling hint, but then there was a period when that started to take months (and of course not pure FIFO, so there was little predictive value).
Great to see we are back to a *very* short queue!

Beyond the author time scheduling issue, it is also interesting to see the actual AUTH48 time-so-far distribution (3.2 median, 8 average! Long-tailed indeed.) and AUTH48-DONE as well (5 and 13.5!).
These statistics don’t tell me how many of the latter dominating the 13.5 week (1/4 year) average are waiting for other documents to complete, but I guess that is most of them — the unproblematic ones are already published and don’t lower the average.

(The average MISSREF weeks (one year!) show a fundamental problem with normative references, but that is a much more complicated process issue.)

Grüße, Carsten
