I guess I look at the initial voting in of committers as the process by which people are trusted to merge things in. This proposed process revokes that trust. If Jonathan Ellis or Dave Brosius (arbitrarily picked) wants to merge a new feature into trunk during the freeze, now they're not allowed? That's absurd. People have already met the bar and have been voted in by merit, they should not have their privilege revoked.
