You can send message to @timcliff at steemit.chat and he is very responsive there. STEEM in its own weight (27 rank, $1.85B market cap, $100M trade volume , 0.55M users), should be already there. They have lots of low category or junk coins there already, perhaps due to dev team's hefty donation to Binance.
I, myself, have filled up the form month back. I wonder any dev from STINC contacted or not.
I did! He said that Steemit is aware of the requirements, and there's not much else they can say about it.
