The submission queues are for new sites which aren't linked anywhere.
A crawler obviously can't get at these.

The problem with that is that its a structure built for millons of
sites, not dozens. Most of the categories will be empty, only a
handful will have more than one entry.

Hmm, but if the code were smart enough to flatten the hierarchy so
that each category had an appropriate number of entries (5 to 20),
that could work.

Example, someone marks his Clannad fan-site as
Top/Arts/Music/Styles/Folk/Bands_and_Artists/Traditional_Anglo-Celtic.
Because there are only 15 sites in Top/Arts/Music overall, all of them
are put there directly (the full category can be included in the
listing, of course). A week later, 8 new entries appeared in Music, so
the category is split up.
