We are not going to make the list of pending applications public. That
would be just asking for spam, graffiti, and dupes. If you saw the
current list of pending apps you would see what I mean. >50% of what is
submitted is duplicate information. The rest are either incomplete or
inaccurate. What takes us so long is that we have to manually verify
everything that is posted. Even then, we still get a few dupes through
from time to time.

I know this stinks for the few apps that should get through faster since
they are buried.

What I think I may implement is some kind of honor system. Known good
submitters would get their apps flagged and we would approve them first.
Hmm, seems like a handy idea.
