Or at least nothing get moved forward from March.

Spending time on a patch during a major version doesn't mean that you 
have time to do the same for the next major version.

That way July could start "clean" with patches people are interested in 
and willing to maintain during the next year.

Also, it is a bit confusing that f.ex.

  https://commitfest.postgresql.org/48/

already shows 40 patches as Committed...

So, having some sort of "End of Development" state in general would be good.

Best regards,
  Jesper
