Anyone with an AO3 account will be able to access the sign-up form once it exists. Here is a step-by-step guide to requesting and offering through the AO3 form (though please note that cis-female centric language is not a reflection of the current exchange). If you don't already have an account, again, please ask for one.

The automated invite queue is down at the moment. According to AO3:

"Due to an influx of spam works, we are temporarily suspending invitations from our automated invite queue. Please read more in our AO3 News post, available also in Bahasa Indonesia, Deutsch, español, français, italiano, magyar, Nederlands, português, Русский, and suomi."

AO3 goes on to say:

"To that end, we're temporarily suspending issuing invites from our automated queue. Existing account holders can still request invite codes and share them with friends. You can use existing invites to sign up for an account; account creation itself will not be affected. (Please note: Requests for invite codes have to be manually approved by a site admin, so there might be a delay of two to three days before you receive them; challenge moderators can contact Support for invites if their project is about to open.)"

That may be what you were referring to, but if it wasn't--I thought that you should know that the process might not be as automatic this year.

In the past we've had existing invite codes. If it comes down to it, we may be unable to add new users this year, but may be able to work out some sort of sign-up proxy, if this does become an issue for anyone who wants to participate.

Can we get an update on the matching progress?

I've just posted an update. Assignments should go out this weekend.
