Heather, all,

You are correct, Peter.  MISSREF and AUTH48 are not part of the RFC
Editor timed states, and the RFC Editor timed states have been largely
under 7 weeks for the last year.

Indeed. The actual time for what RFC Editor does for documents is quite short 
(and thank you and others at the RFC Editor side for that!).

My stats counted both MISSREF and AUTH48, I think.

I remember that when this was previously discussed (mid-2000s), we noted that the states didn't map 1:1 with who had to actually do something. Sounds like this is still true.

So in this case, we're looking at "RFC Editor state" = "Heather, please do something" + "some working group, please do something" + "author(s), please do something", and we can't tell how much time to attribute to each of these ...
