Newly contributed theme not showing in Project Application issue queue
It doesn't appear because you didn't create an issue in the Project Application issue queue, but in the issue queue for your theme.
To create a issue in that queue, go to https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/projectapplications and click on Create a new issue.

Since I am a Drupal.org webmaster, I have already moved the issue in the correct queue; you don't need to do anything more.
