You are interpreting Pending from Utopian moderators' perspective because moderators need to submit URL in discord "I am on it" before start to review a contribution. But from end users and contributors' perspective, after we submit a contribution it mean Pending until the contribution is accepted or hidden.
I suggest you consult your supervisor because if Pending is what moderators' think about, then the Pending page will Blank/Empty forever.
