Agora often has a mechanism via which proposals mustn't be distributed
unless they're pending. Typically pending them, when a pending
mechanism exists, requires a payment or is limited in how often you can
do it. The idea is either to keep proposal distributions smaller, or
encourage players to think before proposing. (The "pend" and "submit"
actions are separate for safety reasons, in order to prevent Agora
dying as a result of nobody being able to submit proposals; generally
speaking, proposals that have been submitted but aren't pending CAN
still be distributed, but the Promotor isn't supposed to do so.)

All pending mechanisms seem to have been repealed as of October last
year, though, so right now it's just a meaningless word.
