Your answer is in two parts...
First, the request system usually takes a day or so before the tasks get approved or rejected... so that isn't very long...
But even more importantly... you don't have to make sure there is already an existing page for the one you want to add. @lon has said if it makes sense, go ahead and add it...
For instance... for your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) page contact management software would make sense as a related page. We do not currently have a page called that, but if you put the link, and someone clicked it, they would still get relevant information just from the basic search page Mahalo will bring up.
This is what we've been told to do for now, and these pages can get filled in later. In fact, you can then submit a request for the page knowing you already have a related incoming link.
The limit for number of related pages should be determined by how many truly relate and make sense to have a link to from that page.

Question
Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.
@smartweb hosts a weekly SEO discussion. The answers for 09Nov09 focused on getting links to related pages. What if there aren't any?
Many of the suggestions on 09Nov09 were to get either Mahalo staff or page owners to add a link to your page.
For many topics, especially technical ones (which I might add have high value CPC) there aren't any related active pages and at best a handful of unclaimed pages.
My question to SEOs and Mahalo - is it better for Mahalo traffic to have "page managed" restrictions that limit the number of active pages (to which a related page can be added) on low-volume technical topics (but high CPC) or allow more pages to be created that might not be maintained as Mahalo desires but able to add related pages (thus increasing traffic to the maintained page)?
Most of my technical searches require generating the page and under the new system have a "request" status so the page is in an uncreated limbo (hence no mechanism for adding a related page). If these uncreated pages aren't being requested is there still a mechanism to request adding a related page to an unrequested (and therefore uncreated) page?
Or am I just off base with the importance of related pages?

But isn't the goal to get a link from OTHER pages that point to my page? So I want contact management software to add a related page link that points to my page Customer Relationship Management (CRM). So are you saying that if I put a page (say contact management software) on my related page list then I automatically get a reciprocal link back? Even if page hasn't been requested? That would be cool.
Appreciate your clarification
that you can do.
other than that you have to find relateds and ask the page managers....
however, with the new system, you will have a VM that will be able to create the page or let someone do it through tasks, then make sure your link gets put on it. ask your new VM when you get one.
