Plugin guideline violations do not require a developer to re-apply, they require a developer to fix the problem, and then the plugin is reinstated. Yoast fixed the problem before any action could be taken, so good on them!
Had they said "Screw it! We're Yoast, we don't have to remove our banner ad! from the wp-admin!" and then we saw no action from the plugin review team, that might be another story. But that never happened...
