Another idea is to run a patch triage around mid March 15th, with the
intention of punting patches to the next cycle early enough.  But rather
than considering each patch in its own merits, consider the responsible
_committers_ and the load that they are reasonably expected to handle:
determine which patches each committer deems his or her responsibility
for the rest of that March commitfest, and punt all the rest.  That way
we have a reasonably vetted amount of effort that each committer is
allowed to spend for the remainder of that commitfest.  Excesses should
be obvious enough and discouraged.
