Gotchas

The free wait is stated in days on the last page and was 174 on 31 August 2026. It is a real number they update, not a hedge.
The last step carries a reCAPTCHA checkbox, so the submission cannot be finished by anything automated.
There is no listing page at the end of it. What you get is a slot in one issue of an email, so the link is a mention rather than a permanent page.
