What are the steps between community proposal and the actual spawn of that community?

−0

Codidact features a list of communities, but none of them seems to address software development.

I have seen Professional coding proposal and I think Monica's proposal makes even more sense since we do not want to copy Stack Overflow and at the beginning, it might be wiser to start with broader scopes.

However, it is not clear what happens after the proposal has been made. What should I do if I think Software Development deserves to be a community?

Question: What are the steps between community proposal and the actual spawn of that community?

As if we know

I'll write up a more general answer to this question later (it's something we need to document more clearly than we do), but on the specific example: we added a status-pending tag to the proposal recently to indicate it's moving forward. We haven't launched it yet because we figured syntax highlighting would be important and we need to get that plugged in.

luap42's answer covers what I would have said.
