Every appeal ever submitted to the IESG and its response can be found here.
...since late 2002, that is. There were appeals earlier in history. The
first one I recall reached the IAB in 1995, and had presumably already
been rejected by the IESG. However, statistics since 2002 are probably
enough.
I believe I submitted the first appeal. It was to break a logjam with
the the IETF's failure to sign an agreement with Sun, to get NFS brought
into the IETF. I had been the cognizant AD when they approached the
IETF, but the ball got dropped after that.
So it wasn't so much 'rejected' by the IESG as it was cast in terms of
IESG failure, although really no one was quite sure who needed to sign
the contract with Sun and everyone was afraid of doing it.
My reading of the appeal was that it succeeded, in that the agreement
with Sun was signed shortly after that and the IETF took over the NFS
specification.
