 * I’ve submitted a plugin request yesterday and have yet to receive any sort of
   notification.
 * How long does it usually take for approval/declination of requests?

 * I knew there was an email, but couldn’t find it anywhere.
 * Just emailed them, thanks a lot.

 * Unless things have changed, plugins are inspected line-by-line and approved or
   declined by one human volunteer, so delays are to be expected (especially with
   the influx of new plugins taking advantage of WP 3’s release).

 * Line by line?
 * How can it be inspected line by line if I have not submitted my code at all yet?
   The plugin request page doesn’t include any field for that.
 * All I added was its name, it’s description, and a URL of it running on my website.
   No code available yet. :\

 * Well, the time that the one volunteer spends inspecting code certainly takes 
   away from the time available to approve new plugin account requests. It’s all
   done on a first come first served basis.

 * My first plugin request was approved in 18 hours. My most recent request has 
   been in queue since July 8th – 10 days now.
 * Is the approval queue just really backed up now?

 * Woha, so apparently I have nothing to worry about.
 * Do I get emailed when my request has been processed? Or do I have to check the
   requests page every so often?

 * You will receive an email when the request is approved. I can’t say for sure 
   whether you will get one if it’s rejected.
