Feature Freeze and Review Board

[Martin Gräßlin]

Hi all,

I was wondering about the relation of feature freeze and Review Board. 
Right now we have quite some open review request for e.g. KWin or also 
Plasma. To me everything what is currently open as a review request is a 
"planned" feature.

Now given our feature freeze policy none of these requests may be 
merged after the soft freeze if they are not also listed in the planned 
feature wiki page.

This means I have now to tell everyone to edit the wiki if they want to 
get the feature in. I consider editing MediaWiki tables as a PITA and I 
consider manual work for something which already is in a computer system 
as quite stupid and I think the time is better spent on the code then on 
editing the Wiki document.

Therefore I would like to request the following change in our release 
schedule:
"Trunk is frozen for feature commits that are not listed in the planned 
feature document."
to
"Trunk is frozen for feature commits that are not listed in the planned 
feature document or opened as a review request prior to the feature 
freeze."

Opinions?

And when we are at it: could we change "trunk" to whatever is better 
fitting?

Kind Regards
Martin Gräßlin
