Linus has been complaining about patches arriving late in the merge window for at least a decade at this point. I still don’t understand why he hasn’t decided that the first week is the dead line for submissions and the second week is only for review and the eventual shenanigans linked to the review. It would definitely solve the problem.

Yeah, that complaint is a bit weird:

> The rule is that things that get sent to me should be ready before* the merge window opens, not be made ready during the merge window.*

That's not what a "window" is. If you want the beginning of the two-weeks period to be a deadline, call it a deadline.
