Above is the summary of the Debian/Buster freeze schedule.  After the 12th of 
Feb new source packages will not be accepted.  I'd like to have a policy 
source package newer than July 2018 in Buster so a new upstream release later 
this month would work well.  I don't expect you to go out of your way for my 
convenience, but I think you would probably prefer that distributions not have 
too old releases of policy to reduce the weird support questions.  So any time 
a distribution that supports SE Linux is about to have a freeze and there 
hasn't been a refpolicy release for a while is probably a good time for it.

As for not many changes, there are ~1500 lines of patches in git since the 
2.20180701.  I've just submitted about 1000 lines of patches and can easily 
submit another 500 lines or so before the end of the month.  I think we can 
double or triple the patch size against the last release over the course of 
the next few weeks.  Increased patch size isn't the aim of course, but it will 
hopefully correlate to the amount of fixes for problems that affect users.
