<p><a href="https://github.com/nemobis" class="user-mention">@nemobis</a> I don't think a "hypothetical chance of rejection" is the issue, more that while the policy is in draft we can't know what criteria we need to meet or whether they might suddenly change in the final version such that we no longer qualified.</p>

<p>It doesn't look like I can even apply anyway - going to <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/propose">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/propose</a> which I think is where you're supposed to apply, tells me I'm not authorised to apply:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>You do not have permission to propose new OAuth consumers, for the following reason:</p>

<p>The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Autoconfirmed users, Confirmed users.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>No idea how I become "confirmed" in order to be able to apply.</p>
