On this point, I'd like to think that a window of two weeks is a right balance. That's half of the commit fest, so that leaves plenty of time for one to answer. There is always the case where one is on vacations for a period longer than that, but it is also possible for an author to add a new entry in a future CF for the same patch. If I recall correctly, it should be possible to move a patch that has been closed even if the past CF has been marked as been concluded, allowing one to keep the same patch with its history and annotations. -- Michael
