Backlogs shrink from five months to a 1.5 day triage average for account recovery and from 16 months to about a week for PEP 541 requests, with concrete work: new technical workflows and user docs, an upcoming typo email loop feature to let mistyped sign-up addresses be corrected, a process to evaluate releases from the prohibited names vault, and outreach for 2,000 community orgs plus 182 company orgs. Metrics, implemented docs, and slated features determine whether to watch.
