Just one note about not stopping adding features.

I follow the Lucene community, and they have an interesting workflow for
commits. With every feature or bug fix there is a Jira issue. Then someone do
a patch and attach it to the issue. So the patch generally get reviewed and
commented by sevral commiters, a patch is always commited only one or two
days after it has been proposed. And in a release period, only bug fix patchs
are commited, the feature ones wait the final release to be public.

I don't think we should have a such complete workflow, I don't think there are
enought active people here, not yet. But at least for new feature in a
release period I think it would be a good practice to only do patchs but not
commit them.

WDYT ?
