Some patches went back and forth a few times even after feature freeze.
Many patches last feature freeze seemed to me at least to be of lower
quality and/or higher complexity than usual, and we had a huge number.
Part of the idea behind commit-fest is to avoid that, and so kicking
patches back to the author is more likely to occur, I think.
