Google could simply push signed tags to Git instead of having a person assigned to go through form submissions and give access to specific files. They could also give access to folders instead of file...
If they insist on using Google Drive, they could at least automate giving access. It shouldn't depend on a person going through a huge backlog as a low priority. Requests not being handled for weeks is unacceptable. They could simply push the Git tags and stop dealing with it.
