The account approval requests tracker is getting "messy". 18 created and 5 resolved over the last 30 days. I created a request on May 8, and have emailed ts-admins since (with no reply) over a week now. I've had no comments to my request, and am wondering if the service is usually this slow. I am aware that we are not obliged to get accounts, as it is a free service offered (etc.), but I believe that cleaning up the backlog would be good.

Yes service is that slow, and I am surprised that 5 accounts where created. Right now we are down a login server (Nightshade) and have seen overload symptoms on poor willow (our only other login server). Until nightshade can be brought back into commission I think adding more stress to an already overloaded server is not advisable.

Thanks for the heads-up. During the Berlin hackathon a few people were asking to get new accounts created, and I (in person) asked someone to make them as a favor to me. So that is the reason for a few of the account creations.
