This resonates with my story. Chrome Web Store has been a nightmare to work with for me as a developer ! I have had the same extended review periods, and automated answers pretending they come from a real human, when trying to publish updates for my dezoomify browser extension [1]. The facts that you have no visibility on when your extension is going to be published, no possibility to cancel a submission, and that no update is allowed during the long review process combine together to make chrome web store thousands of time worse than addons.mozilla.org.
Here is the exact message I received from them :
Hello <my first name>,
Thank you for reaching out to us and my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I understand that it is taking awhile for the review to be completed and approved. Please note that both new item submissions as well as updates to existing items are subject to automated system checks and may be flagged for manual review. Review times vary; some reviews complete in a few hours, others take many days, and in some cases a review can take several weeks, depending on review complexity of each item. However, to ensure that this issue doesn't happen again, please make as much of your code visible in the package as you can. If some of your app's logic is hidden and it appears to be suspicious, it may trigger the manual review.
This documentation will be helpful to get an understanding on what items our review team considers for manual review.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
