You do understand the irony of posting this during the merge window, right? :) In general, I worry about trying to codify things too much just because different maintainers have different expectations. As Linus noted, some maintainers have their work done by the time the merge window starts and can take patches just fine — until something catches fire, at least. I'll await a revision taking account the feedback you've gotten, just adding my own suggestion to phrase things as guidelines rather than hard-and-fast rules.
