Nobody has said "no patches will be accepted". The weekly status
reports do have a theme though:

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2018-September/042436.html

"We’re now into M3 feature freeze so new feature patches, particularly
for unplanned changes will be much less likely to be merged until 2.7
now."

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2018-October/042725.html

"We’re now past feature freeze and all major changes planned for 2.6
have been merged so only bug fixes will be accepted now."

"We’re now past feature freeze and all major changes planned for 2.6

We have branched for thud at this point and the new release branches
have been created. We have not started working on master patches yet
though, we’re still concentrating on the 2.6 release.

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2018-October/043068.html

We’re starting to see patches being submitted for master but these will
continue to be a secondary priority until 2.6 is released.


So I think its quite clear we're focused on 2.6 and whilst the status
update does not spell it out, the definition of M4 is no version
upgrades unless they're for security issues or major bugfixes and no
new features.

Cheers,
