Exactly how long must things be in the sandbox and specifically what must be achieved before it can be promoted? I don't think this is workable right now as the code, APIs and SPIs are so volatile, just a few days can be enough for something that isn't part of the build to get broken in several places. Synapse had a similar discussion to this in its early stages and the outcome was for new contributions to go in HEAD, which I think is sensible. If you feel someones contributed something new and then loses interest and doesn't develop it and it becomes a burden to maintain then you can vote to get the code removed. ...ant
