I, in my egocentrism, think it would make more sense to have a deadline
for submission rather than a deadline for acceptance, as that would make
things predictable for patch submitters, and avoid unintentional
overlooking of good patches from obscure persons due to the crush of
patches in October.
Pre-announcing the deadline is good, but having it be a deadline on
something the patch submitters control (submission time not acceptance
time) would be even better.
