No worries :-) .

The general rule of thumb is that everything should be done and ready
before the merge-window opens. Linus often writes very positively about
people sending him pull-requests even before the merge window opens ;-)
[meaning their tree is settled early and all test-robots have run]

And there are different rules in every tree.

For the soc tree the general rule of thumb of =< -rc7 - earlier with larger
changesets. On the other side drm-misc stays open all the time, but makes
a cut at -rc6. So everything targetted at v6.8 needs to be in before
v6.7-rc6.
