I submitted to a black hole called Fedora packaging where there was some churn, some more suggestions (a few contradicting the other) which I duly implemented but no one actually able to move the process forward.

No drama, please.

So many words in this mail of yours. The time could have been spent better
on swapping reviews, reading the process documentation and fixing the
bugzilla tickets, too. Waiting passively leads to something seldomly.

The ticket has not even been visible in the needsponsor queue because the
fedora-review flag set to '?' means there is a reviewer working on it.

Here you could also have added the needsponsor flag as per the process guide.

The various review queues are quite crowded:

What else?
