Because of the nature of how the submission system works it can be unpredictable just how long it takes for a submission to be dealt with, there's a massive backlog to be worked through and unfortunately that does mean some trivia currently ends up sitting in the list for a very long time.
In particular more complicated trivia, or trivia involving a new game or developer entry, is often left longer in favour of accepting or rejecting submissions that are faster to deal with.
The issue is also more of a problem at certain times of the year, for example, over Christmas and New Years there was a predictable wave of submissions at a time when everyone was busy or taking time off.
Personally when I go through the submission list I try to keep things as balanced as possible, I'll usually look through the oldest submissions first, scan through the middle of the list, and then go to the most recent to get through as many simple entries as I can find, that helps to prevent easily accepted or rejected trivia sitting in the list for a long time.
If you have submitted trivia that's been in the list for an excessively long time, as one of the people dealing with entries I fully apologize, and I assure you there's no way for your submission to simply be forgotten or overlooked, it's still in the list.
We're well aware that the amount of time it's taken to deal with some of the oldest submissions is unreasonable, and steps are being taken to try to make things better for everyone.
We're working on it guys, it'll get better.
