There are a ton of patreons with nsfw content. But if this has been so for several months, than maybe some people seeing your games reported you for being an impostor, because they could not verify the patreon you link to from your profile.

Communication with devs could be better, but I also kinda understand why they tend not to tell people what is going on. Worst case they make it even more easy for scammers to upload their things. And best case, the dev does not even know about any investigation. And here it does not matter why there is any manual review. Be it to check eglibility for indexing or quarantine or whatever.

Two months is long but not unheard of and you also uploaded more games in that time, so maybe that put you at the back of the queue.

Do you think that new game release automatically put you at the back of the queue for review? 

No, there are certain changes that trigger it. Not sure which because the list is secret, so that people don't try to get around it.

trigger the review queue or the account being on review? 

...The game being placed back in the review queue, which is what we were discussing.

For quarantines, maybe.  But it would rather put your releases and updates on the list to begin with.

There are two separate issues, but one looks similar to other if you do not know what it was. Quarantine and not being indexed. While on quarantine, a game is also not indexed.

For regular indexing problems, it has been observed that an update can put you on the manual review list. It stands to reason that it could also put you at the back of the list if you already were on the list. It has also been observed or even stated, that the waiting queue is not quite fifo. And the list of what triggers what, is secret after all. (And if I were to implement such a thing, I would even include random factors, to keep people guessing ;-)
