I think we need to

This is going to be very extreme...
Either a patch is ready for merge or it isn't - when 2 or more
Committers agree on it then it can be merged - the policy have to be
discussed of course.
However, development happens all through out the year, so having to wait
for potential feedback during CommitFests windows can stop development
during the other months - I'm talking about non-Committers here...
Having patches on -hackers@ is best, but maybe there is a hybrid model
where they exists in pull requests, tested through CfBot, and merged
when ready - no matter what month it is.
Pull requests could still have labels that ties them to a "CommitFest"
to "high-light" them, but it would make it easier to have a much clearer
cut-off date for feature freeze.
And, pull request labels are easily changed.
March is seeing a lot of last-minute changes...
Just something to think about.
Best regards,
Jesper
