Update:
Well, after 14+ days I received a response...and was denied!
The email I received is below. I'm not sure what sense it makes for them to deny me, given I haven't had ascent status in at least 5 years, and promised to devote 35k-45k miles/year to them. Oh well, now we know. If you've ever held elite status with F9, even if it seems like forever ago, it's probably not worth your time to try for a match.
Bolding mine:
"Thank you for your note regarding elite status in the Frontier Airlines EarlyReturnsŪ program.
We would very much like the opportunity to be your airline of choice for your future travel needs and have carefully considered your request for elite status in our EarlyReturns program.
Unfortunately, we are unable to grant your request at this time since you have been a member since 2005 and an elite member before. Our status match is designed for new members and not as a fasttrack program for current members.
Please visit frontierairlines.com/earlyreturns for status qualifications and benefits.
We certainly hope that our route map and flight schedule, along with exceptional customer service, will encourage you to consistently choose Frontier Airlines. We hope to serve you soon and often.
Sincerely,"

I did this several days ago and never received any response at all. Maybe too early to jump to conclusions, but they may have eliminated this program.
If I ever hear back, I will update this post.
