Conversations maintainer reports Google Play review regularly exceeding a week

Sources: primary, discussion
Summary: Daniel Gultsch, maintainer of the Conversations XMPP client, posted that Google Play review now regularly takes more than a week for his releases. This is one maintainer's report on one app rather than a measured distribution, and Google has published nothing on review latency for it.
Why it matters: Review latency of this size changes Android release planning, because a fixed monthly cadence stops being reliable and a security fix cannot be scheduled against a known publication date.
