I currently see 370 submissions pending. Does this mean that someone has
processed 700 articles since the beginning of this thread, or am I looking
at the wrong thing?

So, I had a look at articles for creation today, and
there was nearly
1,000 pending article submissions. Articles for creation has changed a lot
since 2008 - it was of a similar structure to XFD - all submissions for a
particular day were on one page, and people could come along and approve or
reject based in certain criteria.
I think that system worked well. True, we have a lot more article
creations, but I think it gave more visibility than the current system
where everything is subpaged.
Some may think that the bar at AFC is set too high but this high bar
discourages new users, especially when their submissions stay unreviewed
for weeks at a time. And since editor retention is something we are trying
to focus on, it seems a worthy project since many new users have their
first experiences in AFC. The lack of volunteers in wikiprojects like AFC
is not a new thing, so it's not that volunteers have reduced. I think we
need to consider if AFC is something we still want to have, and if so, how
can we improve it?
