@DanielKhashabi If you know professors (or industry equivalent) that care about open science and want to join moderation, this can speed up things... There is a large backlog yes. (oldest Is ~50 days)

@DanielKhashabi BTW I have a queue as a moderator but I cannot search for specific authors papers etc. (and not supposed to directly interact anyway) But, I did try and don't see it in http://cs.cl about 40 days ago. (but there's many might missed). is it in http://cs.AI

@DanielKhashabi You wait for a moderator in the wrong category, they then find they don't know anything about this, and pass to (at least one) another category of moderators to verify it.
