Nobody is expected to get back to you. As far as I can tell, you are 
supposed to email IANA:

<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3864#section-4.3>:

       Send a copy of the template to the designated email discussion
       list [33] [34].  Allow a reasonable period - at least 2 weeks -
       for discussion and comments, then send the template to IANA at the
       designated email address [35].  IANA will publish the template
       information if the requested name and the specification document
       meet the criteria noted in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.2, unless
       the IESG or their designated expert have requested that it not be
       published (see Section 4.4).  IESG's designated expert should
       confirm to IANA that the registration criteria have been
       satisfied.

Did you?
