Nope, only four. The second E gets dropped.
Maybe by you, but not by most authorities:

maladatverb (used with or without object), queued, queu·ing.
https://www.collinsdictionary....ionary/english/queueWord forms: queues, queuing, queued
LANGUAGE NOTE:
Queueing can also be used as the continuous form.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/queuequeued; queuing or queueing
Looks like both are correct but queueing is less common outside the math/CS topic, which is usually referred to in the literature as "queueing theory" rather than "queuing theory."

CopefreeI work in Tech and use the words queue, queued, and queueing almost every day, if not every day — spelled that way.

I have never used the term other than in its relation to queueing theory. I don't care what other people do, since the folks I associate with use the spelling I learned.
