Hello @arfon ! I wanted to bring this submission to your attention. Thank you.

[arfon]

@praneethd7 - thanks for your submission to JOSS. We're currently managing a large backlog of submissions and the editor most appropriate for your area is already rather busy.

For now, we will need to waitlist this paper and process it as the queue reduces. Thanks for your patience!

[praneethd7]

@arfon It has been more than 2 months since our submission and being put on the waitlist. I understand that you are managing a backlog of submissions but I wanted to check in and see. Thank you very much!

[arfon]

I'll defer to @oliviaguest here.

[oliviaguest]

Indeed, it's so slow. I'm so sorry. I'll try to find someone or take it over myself if it's still impossible to find a more specialist editor. Apologies!

[praneethd7]

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I appreciate the transparency and commitment in the whole process🫡.

[oliviaguest]

@p-ortmann @gboeing @mem48 can any/all of you review this, please? ☺️
