Set registry backlog

There has been a long list of pending set registry requests for quite a while. I put in a request for a Cubs Team Hall of Fame almost a year ago and it's been pending since December. As far as I can see, the last baseball rookie class to have a RC registry is 2019 (Tatis, etc). Is PSA adding new registries? Can I get a part-time job just clearing set requests?

I have a request pending from July 2020 and another from October 2020. I've had requests that I put in way after them go through, so I can't say I know how they're choosing which ones to move clear first (or at all).
Were yours requests for new sets, or requests for new slots in existing sets? I ask because I recently requested 9 new slots in various player master sets and wondering how long that will take.

I posted the below earlier. Seems like they are changing their process and in the process of making changes.
"I was told the registry coordinators were not going to send out requests to vote anymore. They have a new "expert" that will make decisions on how what gets added to these sets going forward. I was told the "or" will be used to fix sets where the key card was not used in the past. Keep an eye on your email for card adds to your set. I've all ready identified cards being added to sets that didn't meet the the requirements. The registry coordinator fixed immediately once I pointed out the error. Bumpy ride ahead..,"
@bullman2012 Missed your earlier post. Interesting way forward. Have several slot requests pending as far back as 2020, so any movement is good movement at this point. If they deny, the email they send out gives an opportunity to reply for further discussion, so hopefully they will be able to make some forward movement

The latter, Dan.
Thanks for clarifying. Not good news for me.

Hello, I have been really disappointed with the speed with which player sets are added. Certainly appreciate where niche players are added and since I’m talking about hockey I am already in the niche area but seems a little strange that guys like Makar, Matthews, Mackinnon, elite players who have been in the NHL for years don’t have basic or master sets and don’t see a timeline for them being added.
Seems like player sets could be added with a minimum number of cards and then cards requested by motivated collectors
Maybe it’s just that player sets aren’t really popular, not sure.
They don’t just add sets to the registry, somebody needs to request them. If you don’t see them, I’m assuming nobody requested them yet.

Yes I should emphasize that I have requested some but not all of the sets above as well as a couple others of current HOF and future HOF players. This was probably 6-7 months ago. Not a big deal as I see above that others have waited much longer for sets to be added but the speed at which player sets are being added makes me believe it is going to be a really long wait.
You can see set requests here as it might be helpful to some https://www.psacard.com/psasetregistry/setrequests
I would assume Joe Gibbon, Scott Wedman and Gary Geiger will be the next to have sets added. I have looked at this player set since before I made the request and have not seen one name added to the list which tells me there is a huge backlog.

Last week Erling Haaland, Joe Hart, Christian Okoye and Giovanni Reyna had basic/master sets added, the prior week nobody, same as the week before. 9/15 they added 4 players. So the pace is about 8 basic/master players sets a month
At that pace as a collector I have a feeling I will be waiting years for any requested set.
This needs to get a whole lot faster all around.
AGREE . SGC IS LOOKING BETTER EACH DAY.
