I guess the answer is that it needs moving.

Oh, I thought moving would happen *after* it got reviewed and accepted.</pre>

<p>For some reason I can't explain that is a common misconception as
of recently. The last few review requests *all* made that mistake.
Nobody really questioned it until now, but it's not how it's
supposed to work.</p>

About the instructions you linked, I did miss the item about updating repo-metadata, but actually I'm not sure I understand it. It says:
</pre>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre"> Make a merge request to repo-metadata to set the lifecycle key to lifecycle: in-review
</pre>

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">
But it doesn't mention which file within repo-metadata I should create/update.

You'll get a file as part of moving to a proper shared namespace. For that you need to file a sysadmin request.
I guess the docs need a bit more detail for the case when a project starts "in KDE". Something like
- create project in your namespace
- push some initial code
- file sysadmin request to have it moved to some shared namespace
- this results in lifecycle:playground
- then follow the review process to move on from there
CCing Thiago in the hopes that I don't have to update the docs :D
