Application Stagnation 2

Hello Eternians, I've come with a similar issue. Feels like deja vu; what is happening is likely not just my own issue, but something shared between multiple crafting accounts. I've just returned from a two week break. While in this break, I bumped a dev post twice. Using my usual method of one bump per week, it's been a month. Actually: over a month now. The last time I bumped was a month. In three days it'll be a month and a week when I bump it again.
I understand that the staff is busy, I get it. Ya'll are doing a big arc with the tower, trying to add in new features and new races. It's all really cool to see, and will likely inspire new players. That said, for players like me that are forgotten within these changes: it makes thins difficult. I'll be honest, knowing that a Dev Mat application has been sitting for over a month is a hard pill to swallow. I've got a lot going on in my life outside of this game. Stuff that takes up a lot of my time. I run a rental business with my AirBnB, among multiple upkeep projects needed to facilitate the property. This, coupled with a potential lawsuit which is entirely frivolous conjured up from an ex worker who stole thousands of dollars of equipment.
That is more of a personal issue, I get that. But, with all this going on, and knowing that even a Dev Mat will wait a month before it's approved? Is not very comforting. Again, I appreciate all the work going into this game. But, I find it hard to be a crafting motivated character when crafts are always ignored. I hope everyone reading this has a good day. Thank you for your time. And, I really hope this could make a change for the better.
Perhaps a new method of checking applications is in order? Maybe a way to cycle back faster, or a date based system? Or perhaps things should be less scrutinized. I don't know the answer, but I don't think things can continue as they are.
