Answer 1

1. You can submit your shared package, your own library, separately from all your extensions. On https://developer.magento.com/ in packages section, you may create your shared package. So, in this case, when you will upload you extension, you must add your library name to require section in composer.json file of your extension. Also we highly recommend to upload shared library first, and than Installation checker can install all necessary dependencies.
2. The main reason is that some of our steps in technical check are manual (for now). Such as QA and Copy Past Detector (CPD). So all of them are processing according to queue. Currently we are working to optimize this process, to add more automation here.
3. As I know this step checks if the functionality of your extension is unique. It means if Marketplace already have extensions with the same functionality or such functionality is present in Magento Platform - your extension will be rejected. Try to make your extension unique.

The first thing you should do is to login on http://marketplace.magento.com and update the new developer profile with your developer or company information. After that the following steps have to be done in order to successfully submit an extensions:

1. Upload the .zip package of your module to the Marketplace and provide all necessary information. Go to your uploaded extensions https://developer.magento.com/extension/extension/list/ Click on Add Extension

2. Submit the extension for technical review whereas the first part is automated code analysis (based on phpcs) and the second part is manual review by Magento.

   Once your extension is submitted to review it gets the following status

   Marketplace Review

   If review was successful you get an email informing you about that. Our first submission took 6 weeks, but to be fair, we submitted the extension right after marketplace launch. The Magento review team did get a lot of extensions for review so it took so much time. But Magento already said that they want to reduce the maximum review time to 2 weeks.

3. During or after the technical review you can provide necessary marketing information in order to promote the extension properly. Here you can add descriptions, screenshots, pricing, videos etc. The following status is telling you that you can update product information:

   Ready for Review Marketing

4. After successful technical review you can submit your extension for marketing review as Magento wants to ensure unique brand appearance:

   In Marketing Review

5. After successful marketing review the extension immediately gets published to the Marketplace.
