The publishing frequency of the modulelist itself is not enabling/preventing editing of metadata on PAUSE. Authors can edit metadata as soon as a namespace proposal is confirmed by an admin. That said, there is indeed a painful delay in the production of the modulelist. The software I have written to produce new module lists is very broken and I'd need a whole lot of consecutive days to redesign it so that the module list becomes as automatic as it should be.
