Thanks for raising this concern Taras. I could not agree more. My intern's blog was only added a couple of weeks ago (a week or so following her departure from Mozilla). It's a shame that she never had an opportunity to have her work showcased on Planet. The current model for approvals is clearly broken. I like your idea about automating this.
