Can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, and sometimes up to a 
few months. If it's an app that requires software/hardware that few 
committers run, it'll usually take an even longer time.

If it's accepted, you'll receive a message letting you know. If there 
are aspects of it that need correcting, you'll definitely be notified.

I'd say be patient, but you'll also need to be persistent. We're all 
busy, and can't devote as much time to new ports as we'd like.
