I think this is a big part of it, Niantic had last week off (everyone, the entire company). Add that to only having 20 people on the ingress team, you'll end up with a backlog that will take a couple of weeks to clear.
Yes, from that date i have approved 4/18 without receiving confirmation email, but the rest of the same banner uploaded on the same date are still in the queue.
I waited for a year to hear a response from one mission, when the other 23 came in within days, but I think that was more of a problem with the system than no reviews at all.
I'm currently planning a mission banner to submit but this doesn't make me think it'll be worth it.
Oh joy (sarcasm), so many people in the same boat as me. This really sucks after being one of the ones locked out from February. Get it back just to still not get my missions live and running. Not to mention doing the missions and finding out things need tweaked and can't get those approved either. Waiting on 36 missions to be approved and 1 mission fix that needs approved. Everyone look for Niantic employees in your October FS and bug the **** out of them.
I have a five mission banners in review, with only parts approved; however one mission is very close and waiting on two parts from August 10 "Altamont 1889" parts 3/18 and 16/18. It appears that I am in the same boat, I had some missions approved without emails. Recently, a fellow agent messaged me on Telegram and asked me were "Your Path, You Must Choose" 1/18 starts, I checked my Mission Authorizing tool, and only two parts were approved (10/18 and 4/18). I also noticed, every time I log into the authorizing tool, the current already published (in review, edited), has the exact, time and date of my log in, instead of the time and date I originally submitted for the edit, interesting, does anyone else have that issue?
the lack of information whats up with the backlogg makes it less interesting to submit new missions, i heard of a local agent submitted a banner for halloween, time will tell if it will be approved in time...
@NianticBrian@NianticCasey Not a single comment? Not even a simple "we are aware"? Nearly 2 months and counting, what's going on? Why are you ignoring us?
The requirement says 'load up that ingress mission banner you've always wanted to try; or, make a new one'. I have a new banner in the queue for review. While there are a couple of banners along the10k route, I've already completed them.
I certainly hope life goes on with or without a new banner, although I prefer it with a new one. My response was to what I thought was a question whether a new banner was a requirement. Did not realize you were making a statement in the form of a question. I'll take 'oops, my bad' for $400 Alex.
So, I’m a couple states away on work, killing some time this morning before meetings and started a cool looking mission banner. I finish 1-3/18 and look for 4/18. I never found it. I reached out to the creator and he responded a few hours later that he had to make some revisions, but that it’s been waiting to be approved for over a month.
So now I have three parts of a banner that I won’t be able to finish for likely several months, if not longer. Niantic, please address this problem. Please let us know what’s going on. As we seem to be experiencing elsewhere, your silence is deafening...

I have some proposals from 7.30.2020, still unanswered as well.
It seems that the queue is a bit bigger still ;-(
check missions page if approved? some get no email but missions approved.
same here. they need to review the missions one by one, so it's possible that one mission won't pass
47 days since submission, still no feedback.

Almost two month had passed from my oldest mission submission.
I hope Niantic mission review team to improve this situation.
@NianticBrian @NianticCasey could you please ask them to change this situation?
I just got one mission approved (from a banner submitted on 08.08.2020) and received a mail for it.
I wish they could update us and tell us what's going on, because perhaps it's not a good idea to submit mission now

@NianticBrian there's still BannerRuck missions that need approving. This is time sensitive, for an Ingress event. Can we have an update, please?
And now for the last week I get a "unable to verify authenticity. Please try again" version of being locked out
the lack of information whats up with the backlogg makes it less interesting to submit new missions, i heard of a local agent submitted a banner for halloween, time will tell if it will be approved in time...
I've crossposted this issue in App Feedback to try and get an official response.
Just checked again. No movement.

I'm play the game very active before.now my enthusiasm decline by this.

Banner Ruck is going to be near impossible without a new banner to DO.
Does BannerRuck actually require you ruck a new banner? You can redo missions.
The requirement says 'load up that ingress mission banner you've always wanted to try; or, make a new one'. I have a new banner in the queue for review. While there are a couple of banners along the10k route, I've already completed them.
So, life will go on if you don't have a new banner? You can re-do an old one for BannerRuck.
I certainly hope life goes on with or without a new banner, although I prefer it with a new one. My response was to what I thought was a question whether a new banner was a requirement. Did not realize you were making a statement in the form of a question. I'll take 'oops, my bad' for $400 Alex.
