Google is one of those places that it often feels like there is no one to handle issues outside of their algorithms. PortableApps.com is currently blocked by Google Safe Browsing, pointing to a single 'malware' file that shows as clean in VirusTotal (also owned by Google). I clicked the REVIEW button that said they'd review in 72hrs - more than 72hrs ago - and I've still heard nothing. Others have said it often takes 5 days... of having Google Chrome saying every file anyone downloads from your site is dangerous malware.
I'm not entirely surprised. There's a noticeable bug in the Google Contacts web app that's been there for at least 6 years. I've reported it twice and know of a couple engineers in Google that reported it, but it won't get fixed. The alphabetical list of US states is out of order, so you can't tab to the field and type "new y" to get New York. The states are in order by their two letter abbreviation, even though it isn't shown. Literally just a SQL 'ORDER BY' or similar that needs fixing. I debated trying to get a job at Google just to fix it.
