To clarify the fairness standard here: submitting a patch before the
CommitFest deadline, then adding it to the app, means that we will try
very hard to find a reviewer for the submission during that CF. It's
setting a worst-case bound on how long someone who contributes will have
to wait for feedback. That delay, how long it would take before someone
saw community feedback after they sent in a patch, used to be far less
predictable.
Something like this, sent just after the deadline, won't be assigned a
reviewer by the CommitFest manager until the next CF. That doesn't mean
it won't be reviewed anyway. Also, submissions that fix a regression,
like this one, can easily end up on a fast track unrelated to the normal
schedule.
