That's a good idea and we can definitely do that.

This is a human driven process. So, if someone says, "Oh, you gave me
approval but my patch is out of date now, can I take a week to update
it?", I don't think any rational person involved (like me) is going to
say that you cannot do so.

This isn't a stick with which to hit people. The overall goal is simply
to avoid accidental exposure of security issues before their time, so we
can shepherd when things go in a bit better. I think it will wind up
being relatively flexible and straightforward for folks.
