I guess there were other priorities in the past (there are still a lot of things to improve but most games have a least a decent entry these days).
Well anyway, as long as HOL members have not given their opinions, there won't be any major change I suppose.
By the way, if things take a long time to happen (if RCK is difficult to contact or something else) perhaps there is still the possibility to use the wiki as a collaborative tool.

It could serve as a repository to complement a dedicated thread (in case the thread starter disappears) until a decision for HOL is reached. Or to store minor details while HOL entries would hold the major elements only.
