I suppose we could have a moratorium on commits starting from (say) EOB
Wednesday of the week prior to the release; patches can only be
committed after that if they have ample support (where "ample support"
might be defined as having +1 from, say, two other committers). That
way there's time to discuss/revert/fix anything that is deemed
controversial.
