I didn't know we could do that. What's the process for nominating a story?

I'll just email with a title "2nd-chance nomination: story-ID title"

And include the link in the post.

The story-ID is the numeric part of the post URL.

For this thread, where the post URL is

  https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29024032

The story-ID is 29024032

(Moderators can use the story-ID via browser extensions / bookmarklets, I just learned yesterday.)

Similarly, include the story-ID for other issues (e.g., editorialised or clickbait title, suggesting a canonical URL, vouching flagged stories, spam).
