Webmasters only "suggest" sites (the link at DMOZ does not say "submit"). Editors are free to use whatever source for sites they like and are under no obligation to even look at the suggested sites when looking for sites to build a category. The suggested sites is the worse source of new sites. Some categories just don't get touched by editors, often due to the huge amount of spam that gets suggested.

When a site is suggested, there is a thank you message on the confirmation screen. I am not sure what more than that is of any use to anyone. The site submission status thing at resource zone was a failure and did not provide anything useful to webmasters.

If DMOZ did send information, what would you do with it if:
1) Your site is waiting to be reviewed --> there is nothing more you can do and life goes on
2) Its been moved to another category --> there is nothing more you can do and life goes on
3) Its been listed --> there is nothing more you can do and life goes on
4) Its been rejected --> there is nothing more you can do and life goes on

The only people who would benefit from this are the spammers who will know when and how there latest little scheme has been detected and they can try again. The very people who DMOZ is doing battle with to the detriment of the genuine webmaster.

I can never understand this incredible obsession so many have with DMOZ, when
