Each county Election Board can attempt to "cure" ballots that they receive where the voter forgot to sign the outside envelope, or dated it incorrectly or not at all. (Needless to say, the voter's party affiliation is irrelevant, this is for ALL ballots.)
The County election officers (or volunteers) can try to contact the voter by phone or mail and explain the problem. If that voter is able to come to the Election Central and sign and/or date the outside envelope, then their ballot comes out of quarantine and gets counted. If the voter cannot be contacted, or if they're unable to come to the election central office, their ballot stays in quarantine and doesn't get counted.
Not all counties are attempting to "cure" ballots, but I live in Allegheny County where this process has worked quite well. It has saved many hundreds of ballots from the quarantine junk pile since 2020.
