Could you please explain the logic behind this as I am confused. Is this due to an inefficient process, technical limitation, or other reason (lack of manpower doesn't qualify as that seems self inflicted by the project)? Are you somehow tracking submissions to take care of when this unlocked so people don't waste their time needing to resubmit them?

While they may exist I know of no other project, including OS, that halt development like this for long, if at all, to do a release. Again, they may exist I just don't know of any and find the process awkward and confusing.

The t2k19 hackathon has concluded and the ports tree is now locked
for the 6.5 release.  Important(!) fixes are still possible for a
brief period.  Committers need to ask sthen@ or me for approval.
