Yes, but in unstable, those should happen perhaps a bit less often, what
with all the new versions going in regularly, before the security bugs are
even published :)
Besides, us sid users should know how to intervene on our own if 12 hours is
too much :)

It was once moderated like that, but as you may already be aware,
mirrors@d.o is an alias that is only active when the occasional enthusiast
delves into it :) so this was abandoned, probably because by this time the
queue would have been measured in gigabytes (spam).
Since only the GPG key is checked, I could just sign the message for you and
it should go through.
