The "Deadline exceeded -- automatically derestricting" comment was posted on Feb 23, 90 days[0] after Nov 25.
The account that posted it, [email protected], is listed[1] as the "owner" of Project Zero, which implies to me that they may be a user account, but quite likely one that has a script running under its permissions.
There certainly could be a human-controlled kill-switch to this release process, of course, and it's possible that "hawkes" manually goes through a list of vulnerabilities every day and clicks "release".
