My plugin is in the official repository (http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/sou...878&r=1857 )

but it hasn't been added to the trunk. Can anyone tell me why not?

I tried to join the mailing list, but I never received a confirmation email. How long does it usually take? I've checked my junk email folders, but not seeing anything. Maybe I am being impatient.

AFAIK, I've followed all the rules.

1. I cloned scripts
git clone git://xbmc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/xbmc/scripts
2. Added my script folder to it, e.g. script.tvtime
3. I verified no binaries, icon.png is not transparent, etc.
4. I included changelog, etc.
5. I performed git commit for my latest updates

So is the last step I need to do dependent on getting setup in the mailing list so I can send a [Git Pull] request?

Yep. As soon as you get approved on the mailing list (did you check your spam folder ?) you can submit a pull request and things should go their way.
