Delay is due to personal reasons from the submitter hence longer months 
than expected. Unfortunately, the guideline lacked clarification for 
reviewing a package from new contributor by the sponsor, I attempted to 
apply for that position which sadly failed so the process was stuck.

Given the shortage of sponsors, this example shows that a better 
approach will be required when it comes to new submitter and 
non-sponsored reviewers so such issue will never occur again in the future.
