Jussi Lind (jussi-lind) wrote : Application approval process via developer.ubuntu.com is too slow

Steps to reproduce:
1) Write an application
2) Try to get it included in the USC via developer.ubuntu.com

What should happen:
- The application should get approved or completely rejected within acceptable period of time.

What happens:
- The application can be pending for months and nothing happens. I submitted my app (fleetingpm) for almost a year ago.
I got one comment 9 months ago, fixed the problem and the application is still pending. This is not acceptable.

I know that PPA's are cool and I'm happily using them. However, new users necessarily don't understand the concept at all, they don't find the software and PPA's are clumsy to install.

I'm not sure what's the point of developer.ubuntu.com if there are not enough resources to run it.
