We normally do so.

This isn't about this project.  Jaime sent a mail to gnueval for the
MIT Scheme project, it is in the archives.

Sometimes people submit a project that hasn't been started yet, so we
ask the submitter to wait till he has some sourcecode that can be evaluated.

It is the responsibility of the moderator that handles the moderation
that week.

As I already said we asked gnueval to evaluate the Mit Scheme project.

I am not so long a moderator and I have actually never seen a mail
from the gnueval team that says a project has been accepted (mayby
none got accepted).  So I can't say much about the way of handling
requests.

Mayby the gnueval team lets the project leader contact us...

I do not know what a RT ticketing system is, so I assume you mean a
normal ticketing system.

This would be easy so long it doesn't cause much overhead.  Also
someone would have to check if all items get handled. 

Happy holydays,
