Yes, that seems pretty clear-cut to me.  It would be totally unfair if
a patch that hasn't been updated since November were allowed to submit
a new version after the start of the final CommitFest.  We shouldn't
be working on anything now that hasn't been under active development
recently; we have enough things (and then some) that have.
