Yes, they do. "Submitted names will not necessarily appear in the main name database, but they will be reviewed for possible inclusion." There isn't really a schedule for reviewing names - updates are only as frequent as Mike Campbell has time for, as far as I know. And the submitted name database is currently pretty huge.
What happens, as far as I know, is that a submitted name that seems to be promising, in terms of being in use and having a confirmable etymology, gets marked "Of Note," and is more likely to be reviewed first for inclusion in the main database. If you want to try to get a name noticed, you can post about it on the Facts board and ask that it be reviewed for the next update. It would probably only be worth doing, though, if you could list publicly available references, showing usage of the name for real people, or about the etymology of the exact name.
