How are ProtonDB medals awarded? (lemmy.ml)

I was looking at the protondb for Battlefield V and it has a gold medal despite the fact that it has been literally unplayable (the game won't even start) fpr 6 months now.

Are medals impossible to lose? Or do they run on some sort of manual verification? Is there some way to request a game to have it's grade changed.

For reference, the change in this case was the addition of EA Anti-cheat, which breaks linux compatibility and borked a considerable number of games, even older ones.

Is 6 months of reviews not enough?

To be fair, ProtonDB needs to add something like "last 3 months status". Would not work for every game since some games barely have any reviews but would work for popular or relatively popular games. Otherwise, the medals are an overview from all time reviews, which can be misleading in this constantly changing situations.
