You mean like

draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20021213 current status EDIT
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20021213 entered queue at 2002/12/12 (1 days in unknown state)
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20021213 is version 09
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030107 changed from EDIT to AUTH
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030107 changed version from 09 to 11
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030107 was in EDIT since 20021213 (25 days)
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030108 changed from AUTH to EDIT
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030108 changed version from 11 to 09
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030108 was in AUTH since 20030107 (1 days)
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030304 changed from EDIT to IESG
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030304 was in EDIT since 20030108 (55 days)
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030414 changed from IESG to EDIT
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030414 changed version from 09 to 12
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030414 was in IESG since 20030304 (41 days)
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030424 changed from EDIT to RFC-EDITOR
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030424 was in EDIT since 20030414 (10 days)
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030612 changed from RFC-EDITOR to AUTH48
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030612 was in RFC-EDITOR since 20030424 (49 days)
draft-ietf-aaa-transport 20030613 current status AUTH48 since 20030612 (1 days)

so the time this document spent in EDIT + RFC-EDITOR seems to be 139 days.
See http://rtg.ietf.org/~fenner/iesg/analyze-rfcq.txt .  (This analysis
assumes that the rfc-editor queue reflects the current state of a document
at any given time; I take a daily snapshot of the rfc-editor queue and
log the deltas.)
