Blog about Needs review issue queue initiative

Created on 11 July 2025, 8 days ago

Problem/Motivation

To help keep the momentum of this great initiative and attract more reviewers, we could blog about it.

Sharing the goals and progress via a blog post would spread the word wider about this vital work. And it is more than statistics, it is an opportunity to discuss each part of the review process, when to ping someone, when not to ping someone, what tags to use, why keeping the issue summary up to date help, how to postpone an issue etc.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Publish a blog post about every other or third month, with subjects such as these:

  • Initiative changes
  • How the stats are evolving, such as How many issue got fixed and average time tickets sit in review
  • Teach new users how to get started (see "Problem/Motivation" for more)
  • Which new users joined and pledged to review issues
  • Etc.

Get the blog included on Planet Drupal.

    I think this should be lower frequency (say once per minor to start), but published on https://www.drupal.org/about/core/blog β†’ .

    The initial post should explain what the initiative is and be an introduction of sorts. The next one could then give a progress update and maybe add additional conceptual content. I suggest one when we finish drafting it and a second one before the December minor release window.

    Thanks @xjm, sounds great! I attempted to add your suggestions to the Issue Summary, feel free to adjust if some things need tweaking.
