That’s the goal eventually. I’m being a bit careful about the amount of TL3’s being automatically bumped because it can cause some weirdness with tracking. For now, I’m looking at folks who (1) were high contributors on the previous forums, (2) had largely positive/constructive interactions with the community, (3) had few, if any, account actions, and (4) are now active on the new forums.
That’s a lot for me to review on a case-by-case basis, so I appreciate you all bearing with me while I’m juggling getting that all set up on top of my other usual community management duties. 
It has! I reviewed your request and account today and issued you TL2. That should allow you to get started for now. Make sure to log out/back in to make sure your new permissions are available. Happy posting!
