On this point, I'd like to think that a window of two weeks is a right
balance. That's half of the commit fest, so that leaves plenty of
time for one to answer. There is always the case where one is on
vacations for a period longer than that, but it is also possible for
an author to add a new entry in a future CF for the same patch. If I
recall correctly, it should be possible to move a patch that has been
closed even if the past CF has been marked as been concluded, allowing
one to keep the same patch with its history and annotations.
