Patrick,
It shouldn't have a significant impact on any new contributers since the
reviews of their patches would could start as soon as the patch is posted.
I'm interested in your experience in this area - the only other project I
have worked on with a cool-off period is Hive, and a cool-off does not seem
to have had a negative impact on community growth. Do you know how other
projects address the problem of giving larger portion of the community a
chance to review a chance prior to commit?

Thanks,
Lenni
