Mark,
I understand what you are saying. In this case, there are two issues that are not making it into 3.1 because they landed too late. After the freeze. The contributions appear to be done. So, the itch at this point needs to be scratched by one or more committers, to commit the changes and to act as release manager.

It appears to me, that the effort to commit the contributions are minimal, and that in this case the true cost is that of doing the release.

As to release discussions involving maven: if the next release were in a couple of months and nothing had been contributed to make maven better, why would it even need to be discussed. The last decision could still stand. I think it is the long time between releases that bring up the same intensity on the maven discussion.

More contributors contributin' will help us get there!

Release work is not glorious. Release work is not fun (most of it). Release 
discussions involve...*cough*...Maven...

Been there. Many hands make light work or something though.

Many want more releases - few have more time to give - that's my impression. 
Open Source - help scratch your itch is the best advice I can give.

Can we see more frequent releases? Can we look forward to a 3.2 release in a few months? 
Say May 15? That'd be a "quarterly" release cycle.
(Personally, I'd like to see Robert's improvement to the handling of Chinese as 
soon as possible.)

Distributed date faceting now has a patch and is tested:

I’m posting to the dev list because I want a committer to mark this for
3.1.  I don’t want to assume any of you guys see the comment activity.
Thanks very much for adding a test!

But, can't we just do this for 3.2 instead? I don't like the idea of
rushing features into 3.1 at the last minute because we are nearing a
release (0 open lucene issues, 2 open solr ones).

Right now the 3.x branch is feature-frozen for 3.1
