I agree with that

It's private for a reason

Whatever the reason is, why not giving an ID to a MOD upon submission and publishing the queue as just a list of these IDs? There is no harm in that and MOD authors would be able to monitor the validation status of their MOD and to see its position in the queue, being the only ones to know their ID.

It will be released, if it's finished. That's life.Fountain of Apples wrote: Oh, then, so would it be a matter of days or weeks?
The new phpBB will be the best you ever seen before. So many features are new and will/should be tested. All should be stable and secure, not buggy.
Maybe we will get a present on xmas or on new year or on eastern or ... Whatever, it will be relased and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Is there a common format for the file names and extensions of the mode files... for example... if you've got a mod do you save it as MYMOD.MOD or MYMOD.TXT? and should they have version numbers as well? I didn't find anything in the tutorial about file name formats.

.mod or .txt--doesn't matter. Both are edited from a text editor, etc. However, only .mod and .zip files can be submitted to the MODs Database, so if you have no included files for your MOD, you might want to save it as a .mod file so that you don't have to zip it.
Yes, MODs have version numbers. They need to be placed in both the top and the MOD history. The tutorial explains how to label your version numbers, but here is an overview:
Version numbers are written as x.y.z.
X changes when you perform a complete overhaul (or something close to it) to the code.
Y changes when you make a major change to some code, or add a new feature, etc.
Z changes when you make a minor code adjustment, or a bunch of REALLY minor adjustments.
If you make a really, really minor adjustment (like to update info, or fix a small bug), you add a lowercase letter to the end of the version number, starting with a, all the way to z. After that you go aa to zz, and on and on.
For example, say I'm working on my MOD, Add Forum Index Link to Overall Header. If I completely redo the code while the MOD is at 1.3.6, it is now at 2.0.0.
If I revise a part of the code or add a new feature and the MOD is at 1.3.6, it is now at 1.4.0.
If I make a minor adjustment to a part of the code and the MOD is at 1.3.6, it is now at 1.3.7.
If I make a really, really minor adjustment to the code and the MOD is at 1.3.6, it is now at 1.3.6a. If I make a really, really minor adjustment to the code and the MOD is at 1.3.6b, it is now at 1.3.6c.
Hope that helps ya out.
