Could we please come up with a good plan on how to handle Summer of Code contributions _before_ we do a code freeze? I remember that the 2005 code freeze just when I was starting to get my patches in was immensely frustrating. Git will make this easier, but we _need_ to decide how we want to handle ongoing contributions. I know the idea of a code freeze is to get people working on existing bugs but for the SoC students that's just not an option. If we don't integrate the code during SoC, I doubt we're really going to use it. I still remember the ClamAV plugin that never made it to the master branch.
