I don't have any, and I don't remember it being submitted.

It is a different license.  It would need its own approval.  I would

submitted.

I don't believe that the FSF submitted the GPL v3.  So you may be able
to submit the AGPL.

could ask a targeted question and you'd probably get fairly good
answers.  But it is off topic.
