I created a plugin and if it gets approved I'd like to apply for dev and hopefully patch another plugin. How long does the process normally take? I submitted the plugin 9 days ago but I realize it's in the middle of Christmas/New Years. The main reason I'm asking is we just started a new wipe on Thursday and the server I'm on isn't using the plugin I wrote I'm assuming because it's still in limbo.

Not in limbo, just behind because of the holidays and being sick (some form of cold for the past week, still not quite over it). We're catching up with everything though!
