How often does Google's Safe Browsing system expire URLs that are 404?

[Landon Stewart <lstewart () inap com>]

Hello,

Numerous customers that have had phishing issues reported to them as a result of Google’s Safe Browsing program have 
taken care of said issues.  The URL(s) reported to them either return a 404 or 5xx error but the URL stays listed, 
according to the GSB’s API, for weeks afterwards.

Does anyone know:
1) Is there some kind of expiry time on URLs flagged as unsafe by GSB
2) Is there some way for *us* (the provider) to trigger a review of the URL to speed this process up?

Harassing the client to login to the webmaster portal and request a review can be a cat herding exercise.

Thanks for any info you might have.
