I admit 10 days for a guest account process between your submission and our reply is a bit long. But it's not really several weeks, and in general it's quite common that the delay is less than a week. I am happy anyway to submit a query for a guest account for s390x and aarch64 even though you solved your previous issue, in case you meet more issue with your work in the upcoming weeks. But do mind that you'll only get a one month access only to these arches, that you'll need to ask extensions if you have a need for it, and other hosts access on the basis of your issues. The pro for you will be that you will fall under the two last paragraphs of [0], which mean that you'll be able to just send RT tickets to get extensions or new hosts access, which will reduce further the delays (only the first guest account request requires a NM process).
