Define "submit".  You can coin a cmevla any time you like; the
question is whether anyone else will know what you mean.  For
proper names, this isn't expected anyways, so it's not usually been
a problem.

The most central source for lujvo is jbovlaste.lojban.org, and no,
it is access restricted.  Bear in mind, however, that jbovlaste is
no The Official Source or anything; you can coin new words whenever
you like, it is, again, just a question of whether anyone else will
understand them.

People who have been approved by me, simply because I'm the one who
runs the site.

As long as it takes the person to enter the word.
