Not just now. For the last two weeks, yes.

Yes. But any new code should go into another branch (or delayed entirely,
but that probably doesn't work wekk for you guys) so that by the time the
merge window opens up, it's already ready and rearing to go, and
preferably pretty well tested too.

The problem is, you guys end up accepting a lot of stuff even after the
merge window. I know why - it's easy to do. It looks obviously fine. And
yeah, I let things slide.

The problem is, I've let things slide for a long time, and you guys don't
feel the pain.

You can work on the new stuff too, but DON'T F*CKING SEND IT TO ME!

What's so hard to understand about that?
