06/28/2024, 12:10 PMCan anyone help me understand how the approval process works for publishing plugins? We published an major version update to a suite of established plugins, and I got an email stating that they've been published, but in the dashboard it's still listed as "Pending Approval". It was published yesterday at 1:30 PM EST. I don't ever remember running into this in the past with existing plugins, only new plugins.
Plugin example: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/us.gov.dot.faa.ang.c55.gradle.auto-version

I was about to answer this. Your new submission adds a prefix to the JAR groupID, which we should refuse since it no longer matches a reverse domain.

06/28/2024, 2:34 PM@Louis Jacomet Thank you for the info! Those docs are incredibly useful.
If you don't mind, I'd like to make a UX suggestion.
I would like to suggest adding a link, which points to those docs, either directly on the "Pending Approval" button or right by it. I didn't even know those docs existed until you linked them to me.
