Voting/Elections Complaint

Hello, I would like raise a complaint with the openSUSE Project overall. In July, I applied for membership so that I could have voting rights when elections come up. I followed up a number of times with a number of people including resubmitting the application on the membership Pagure page at the suggesting of others. I am questioning how we can run an election when there are pending applicants for membership. In addition, I am confused as to why it takes almost 5 months to receive a response regarding a membership to a community where I spend a lot of time and have provided resources. Thank you for your time. Bill Schouten
