Risks/Issues
| Initiative | Risks/Issues | Owner | Mitigation/Approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Addon Signing | Unlisted add-ons considered critical are being reviewed as soon as they are submitted (unlisted queue is under control) but many unlisted add-on developers have not (or are presumed to have not) yet submitted for review. We are at 59% of "need to have" add-ons signed as per https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xLnFtXLcIfIXFZodj1sFYzyDdFJ1vR3CKYNb_n-g30c/edit#gid=1874511985 but only 35% of "nice to have". | Lisa Brewster/Add-ons Review Team | Reaching out to unlisted add-on devs to ensure they submit for review, focusing resources on unlisted add-on reviews, longer term we are changing how we review. |
