AFAICT the text there is wrong: it corresponds to state 'waiting' as
'pending' means CRAN is pondering the state of the package.

Your package has only been there for three (mostly weekend) days which is
nothing. I have one 'waiting' for five days now and it is simply (AFAICT) a
false positive. Plus, it had already been delayed by a spurious compilation
error on their end before that so the total is well over a week now. Very
frustrating.  But there is exactly zero you or I can do about it.

No.

I can only suggest to trust official documentation (Writing R Extensions,
CRAN Repository Policy) more. Asking here is also better than guessing.
