I've never heard the phrase swings and roundabouts used this way.

Usually it means two things are similar so you don't really have strong feelings either way.

Maybe that's what they are saying? They impartially judged the application, without strong feelings. Ironically.

That's not what swings and roundabouts means though. Like, not even remotely. It's also not what I said.

Acceptance or rejection, no strong feelings either way.

I cant believe i need to point this out but, acceptance is not similar to rejection.

Yes, that's not the point.
