### Step 8: Wait for Review
166+
167+
MELPA maintainers will review your submission:
168+
169+
**Review Process:**
170+
1. **Automated Checks** - Recipe syntax, package builds
171+
2. **Manual Review** - Code quality, naming conventions, dependencies
172+
3. **Feedback** - Maintainers may request changes
173+
4. **Approval** - PR merged when everything looks good
174+
175+
**Timeline:** Usually 1-7 days (can be faster for simple packages)
176+
177+
### Step 9: Address Feedback (if needed)
178+
179+
If maintainers request changes:
180+
181+
```bash
182+
# Make requested changes to recipe
183+
vim recipes/lumos-mode
184+
185+
# Commit and push
186+
git add recipes/lumos-mode
187+
git commit -m "Address review feedback: <description>"

## Common Review Feedback
199+
200+
Be prepared to address:
201+
202+
1. **Naming Conventions**
203+
- Package name should match file name: `lumos-mode.el` ✓
204+
- Functions should be prefixed: `lumos-` ✓
205+
206+
2. **Dependencies**
207+
- Declare all required packages in `Package-Requires` ✓
208+
- We only require: `emacs "26.1"`, `lsp-mode "8.0"` ✓
209+
210+
3. **Documentation**
211+
- README.md must exist ✓
212+
- Installation instructions required ✓
213+
214+
4. **Code Quality**
215+
- No byte-compilation warnings ✓
216+
- package-lint clean ✓
217+
218+
**We're already compliant with all requirements!** ✅
219+
220+
## After MELPA Acceptance
221+
222+
Users install with:
223+
224+
```elisp
225+
;; Add to ~/.emacs.d/init.el
226+
(use-package lumos-mode
227+
:ensure t
228+
:hook (lumos-mode . lsp-deferred))
229+
```
230+
231+
Then:
232+
```elisp
233+
M-x package-refresh-contents
234+
M-x package-install RET lumos-mode
235+
```
236+
