I would disagree Alex, the only new editors I know are definitely adult webmasters, some of them are a bit "new" to the industry.. but hey I don't run DMOZ..
I have definitely had sites listed in the last few mths!
If you want to know where you sites are up to.. Go ask at...
http://www.resource-zone.com/ - You have to apply for the Adult area.
They will tell you where your site is in the queue, help you to apply to be an editor and generally answer any queries about DMOZ.
..they know about the server problems... so don't ask them that
