I am curious as to the status of my submission about 6 weeks ago to: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Music/Related_Merchandise/Gifts/

at the bottom of this page it says "This category needs an editor" - when this is the case who looks into the submission? Does this mean that it will take that much longer to be reviewed? - at the risk of spamming I don't want to resubmit if things are in motion.
thank you in advance,

Any editor in a category above it, plus any of the editall editors can edit there. Submitting to an incorrect category will just mean your site will be moved to the correct categories unreviewed and will often take longer.

There are currently about 60 unreviewed in the cat, close to 100 counting the subcat, but I could not find your site in there. There are no notes on it, which means it has never been reviewed or moved, so you should try submitting it again.

Exactly what category did you submit to? Your site is not waiting to be reviewed in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Music/Related_Merchandise/Gifts/ and it appears the url you mentioned has never been touched. My advice would be to resubmit.

If you look at the very bottom of the category it will show the last activity (feb 2002 at this time) and there are around 60 sites waiting.

The Shopping branch of dmoz is understaffed and there is a huge amount of unreviewed and constant submissions. Patience is going to be virtue in this case I believe. You know we are always looking for fresh meat... I mean new volunteers editors /images/icons/wink.gif

I know that I, at least, have worked in there since February. Let's just say that it attracts a lot of submittals of sites that obviously don't go there (which is not a big problem) and a lot more sites that subtlely don't go there (which is a bigger problem).
