There are probably plenty of submissions especially in shopping but most of them are MFA and affiliate junk and I doubt any real business has DMOZ in there marketing plans. :-)

As for the shirking there is simply not enough editors anywhere in DMOZ and they are quiting or are being removed for daring to object on how things are run by metas and admins - no DMOZ is not community run, everything is governed by metas and admins who don't have to answer or explain to anyone their actions no matter how flawed they are.

Editor numbers have been drooping for the past few years without anyone bothering to change whole nature of how things are done, new editors after few days or weeks of waiting for their applications to be approved or rejected are basically lost on what to do since there is very little or zero tutoring and most of them simply give up and forget about DMOZ.
