Hi,
Part of our mission is to help with current issues. Last week I sent out a mail to the group - thanks to all who took a look, I realise the issue queues can be a bit scary for the first look.
I was lucky enough on Sunday during our Brighton DrupalCamp to have Terry who helps out on the case studies queue come down and walk me through the process. The case studies queue seems to be ok at the moment according to Terry, but others like marketplace and training have issues which have been sitting there for ages and need looking at.
I answered one issue on the case studies on Sunday, you can see how I replied here:
https://drupal.org/node/1776744
I've just answered another on the trainings queue here:
http://drupal.org/node/1774050
If you have any questions after reading the instruction pages please contact me and I'll help you as much as I can - only needs a few people to regularly check the queues and help out where they can, otherwise stuff just sits there not answered which doesn't reflect well on us.
So, if you can spare half an hour, please follow some of these links and I'll see you in the issue queues!

Steve, I've been reviewing
Steve,
I've been reviewing some of the Marketplace listings, but would like clarification...
How and when does a Marketplace or Training Listing Issue get marked Reviewed and Tested by the Community? Is that limited to someone with a webmaster role? Quite a few of the issues I have reviewed have received multiple reviews, but are still listed as Needs Review.

As per below
According to the instructions, once 2 sep reviews then can be set to RTBC
Thanks for helping out!

So what defines a "webmaster"
So what defines a "webmaster" -- is that just any member of the community that is looking to do it, or just an "administrator" on Drupal.org?
Webmaster is just a role on
Webmaster is just a role on drupal.org, but I should have been more clear about the process.
The work that you, dsquaredb, Alex, and others have been doing is enormously helpful in going through the current applicants and getting them through the process.
The way to become a webmaster is to participate in the Webmasters queue, demonstrate knowledge of the process (which usually comes from watching the queue for a while and reading as many of the docs pages as you can), commenting in helpful ways to move the queue along, and then needing permissions to get something done that you have time and willingness to pursue.
So, that's why I asked you to provide the reason for your +1s - it helps demonstrate knowledge of the norms of the queue and will increase the likelihood that other webmasters trust you and being following you to +1 or implement your ideas and, ultimately, make you a webmaster (or at least someone who can be in charge of some section of the site such as these listings).

Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the clarification. I just didn't want to change a status or otherwise edit an issue in a way I wasn't supposed to. Coding isn't my strong suit, so working in these queues is a way I can contribute. I appreciate you spelling out ways I, and the others, can improve how we are working through the queues.

Thank you for clarifying! It
Thank you for clarifying! It makes complete sense to me now :) let the +1 reviews begin!
And, you're already doing
And, you're already doing this so I know you know it, but just to be clear: +1s are helpful but it's also enormously helpful to point out the things that are missing so that folks who are stuck at some spot can know what is holding them back.
Steve has done a great job in the top of this post providing links to both the queues and the guidelines for approval in those queues. If an issue/listing is missing something that is requested in the guidelines then it's great to point that out.
Thanks again for all your work!

I would like clarification on
I would like clarification on this as well. I have understood it as if two community members have commented on it then it can be moves to RTBC and then an admin will change the status to "fixed"
Not sure...
I read it needs two people to provide reviews first, not sure but it seems to imply we can:
