To clarify the fairness standard here:  submitting a patch before the 
CommitFest deadline, then adding it to the app, means that we will try 
very hard to find a reviewer for the submission during that CF.  It's 
setting a worst-case bound on how long someone who contributes will have 
to wait for feedback.  That delay, how long it would take before someone 
saw community feedback after they sent in a patch, used to be far less 
predictable.

Something like this, sent just after the deadline, won't be assigned a 
reviewer by the CommitFest manager until the next CF.  That doesn't mean 
it won't be reviewed anyway.  Also, submissions that fix a regression, 
like this one, can easily end up on a fast track unrelated to the normal 
schedule.
