How to run baselines??

How do you guys run baselines algorithms for comparision while writing papers? as its quite a tedious work, first finding relevant baselines and then reviewers ask for SOTA comparisons and many of these don’t even have well made repos for code along with the problem of excessive train time of RL policies, should one focus on own work or running baselines, specially most of RL algos modify the whole frameworks according to their solutions and then fair comparision becomes an issue
