When the review manager has collected all the feedback and reviews, and
made an informed decision on its acceptance, conditional acceptance or
rejection from Boost.

As for "production environment", the inclusion into Boost doesn't really
guarantee any of that sort. It's up to you to judge if the problems
raised during the review process are blocking enough for you to trust it
in production.

Some libraries that are rejected are still very usable in their proposed
non-accepted form, while some libraries are accepted even if they are
brittle and in need of some serious work to be "production-grade".

In the end, it's a judgement you have to make off the reviews, the
review-manager's summary and all the things that crop up once people
start to try to use the library.

As for absolute timeframes between reviews and resolution, anything from
a few days from the review deadline to several weeks afterwards based on
a sampling of earlier review results. This assumedly varies a lot based
on the issues raised during review and the spread of reviews.
