NEW queue is same for all packages: A checkpoint for ftpmasters, with no promise of specific processing time and no promise of equal processing time across types of code. > javascript packages are treated differently from other languages. ruby > packages get cleared in days or maximum weeks.

Ftpmasters dislike tiny packages in general, JavaScript just particularly commonly practice that antipattern. ...which can maybe also explain why ftpmasters might be more reluctant to examine JavaScript packages: They might be more commonly painful to deal with, and maybe more commonly cause grumpy reactions from the package maintainers if rejected - even if perhaps for reasons already clearly communicated.
