The minimum review time (default 30 days) and the inactivity time (7 days) will be configurable by anyone. Source code for this task can be found at User:DustyBot/dusty_er.php.

Discussion

 * I'm not too familiar with WP:ER, so I'm not sure if automatic closure is appropriate or not. I see you gave notice at Wikipedia talk:Editor review, and it looks like it was well received. I'll give it a little time to see if anyone has a problem with it. – Quadell (talk) 20:42, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, let's fire it up and see if it works. – Quadell (talk) 19:11, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Beginning tests. Wronkiew (talk) 03:44, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I had to revert because it didn't follow the current WP:ER archiving policy. The fix for the bug is now in the online source file. Wronkiew (talk) 04:03, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I made an additional change to check for a comment after receiving feedback from an editor who didn't want their review page to be automatically archived. Wronkiew (talk) 01:56, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * A bug in a regular expression caused DustyBot to leave two closed reviews on WP:ER because they had parentheses in the titles. This is fixed and I removed the reviews manually. Out of time on the 7-day trial. Wronkiew (talk) 04:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks like it's working great. – Quadell (talk) 17:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
