[R-pkg-devel] advice on reminders/nags to CRAN maintainers

[Ben Bolker]

   Wondering about etiquette/if I should start over again with a package 
submission. tl;dr, the package has been 'waiting' since 30 July (I 
responded the same day to the queries that were sent).

   For what it's worth, the 'pretest-waiting-recheck' message below was 
sent from *a* CRAN maintainer, but hitting "reply-all" in my mail client 
only included the "CRAN-submissions using -rproject.org" address. Maybe my 
mail client is misconfigured → supposed to respond to the sender as well 
as the Reply-To: address? I could poke the individual CM who sent it 
personally, but I'm loath to do that unnecessarily ...


    thoughts?

(Some previous history omitted here for brevity; there had been a bit of 
back-and-forth about this package previously.)

   07/30: Submitted version 1.1.2.2 of the glmmTMB package.  Got a 
"pretest-waiting-recheck" message asking us to confirm that we had 
addressed issues; I responded the same day.

   08/04, 08/06: Tried to confirm that the message was received (maybe I 
was too pushy?) -- no answer that I have seen.

   The CRAN queue in general seems to be moving OK 
(foghorn::cran_incoming(), 'archive' folder filtered out, sorted by 
time: 57 total, 45 from today or yesterday).
