It is probably somewhere in Wolfgang's todo list. The merge window is not
an indicator of when patches must be applied, it's a submission cutoff
date. As a general rule, as long as the patches are submitted before the
window closes, they will go in the next release (unless they are nack'd or
cause breakage).

The best time to ping patches is during the RC cycle just prior to.the
release.
