I beg to differ. Commit Fests are the time when patch authors know they
can get feedback from the community and in particular committers.
So as a patch author it's best if you can arrange your schedule and be
ready to submit new versions as asked, or comment on your design choices
and trade-offs, etc.
Patch commit can happen whenever in the cycle at the discretion of the
committer. Commit Fest are all about *review* and *feedback*.

That seems fair.

I've been distracted away from this commit fest but should be able to
get back to it now. Will post soon about the patches I enrolled myself
with.
