5 months.

That's not how the process is documented.  IANA is supposed to forward each
such request to the IESG.  Then, and only then:

       IESG Approval - New assignments may be approved by the IESG.
             Although there is no requirement that the request be
             documented in an RFC, the IESG has discretion to request
             documents or other supporting materials on a case-by-case
             basis.

Note well: that's a discretion of the IESG, not IANA.

The RFC Editor was notified on March 1st, long before Anaheim.

The RFC 2026 process says the RFC Editor has two weeks to consult IESG.
Yet, it took 3 weekly reminders before the ISE notification was even
sent to the IESG!

AFAICT, this is not Neville's fault.  The RFC Editor processing queue isn't
working as externally documented.

Good.  I wasn't notified.

The IESG was *also* notified on March 1st.  [rt.ietf.org #24497]  As you
well know -- you (Lars) refused to put it on the IESG calendar.  You've
forgotten, I have the email....
