Stephen has provided a good summary. And the last paragraph of his reply is the recommended action.
I usually try to do my AD reviews by copying the WG in all my email exchanges with the authors. But I guess other ADs may not put the WG in copy, i.e., what appears on the surface as 'no move' could actually be moving ;-)
And to state the obvious, if a revised I-D is required (or under discussion) and if the revised I-D takes a long time to be submitted, then the I-D will stay longer in the 'AD review' state.
Very much so. I was assuming that the authors responded promptly,
within 24 hours plus timezones. I was also assuming that the Shepherd
had done their job, that the I-D has passed all the checks that the
tools perform and that the AD review was considered finished when I see
the announcement on Last Call list.

I hope this shed some lights on the process.

I am wondering what the consensus of the members of the IETF is on a
reasonable time for an AD to take to move a document from publication
requested to the next stage in the publication process?
I think the answer is "it depends." When I was on the IESG
it probably mostly depended on the length/complexity of a
document and what else was going on at the time, so not sure
it's possible to calculate to an expected duration for AD
review. I guess historical data might produce a bell curve
but not sure that data's easily assembled without a lot of
datatracker foo. (In case people don't know, a lot of the
current details for this are fairly transparent. [1])
I'd hope that someone unhappy with an AD's progress doing AD
evaluation would let the rest of the IESG know about that as
they're best placed to either pressure a slow AD or to offer
help to an overloaded AD.
