Open Directory Project editors

[VanderHart, Robert]

Is anyone on Web4Lib currently serving as a volunteer editor for the Open
Directory Project (ODP) at http://dmoz.org ?  

I used to be an editor in a couple of categories until sometime late last
year.  When I tried to login with my username and password, I received the
following:

This ODP login has been inactivated.
 
When I tried to contact someone at ODP, my email went unanswered.  Then I
tried to re-apply as an editor, and I received confirmation (this was back
in late December) that my application would be reviewed and a message would
be sent to me.  But since then, I've heard nothing.  I sent a couple of
emails since that time that have also gone unanswered.

Has anyone had a similar experience with ODP recently?  Does anyone know of
a way other than email to contact ODP?  Could they be so far behind that
they haven't gotten to my applications yet?  I would appreciate any light
that anyone can shed on this problem.

Please reply directly to me.
