Well, when it is commitfest right now, I would like to be able to go to a URL
that says "commitfest" and then monitor and work on the things there. Most
people should be doing that.

The use case for adding things to the next commitfest while a commitfest is
currently happening much less convincing. Why would you submit a patch now
when you still have two months to work on on it and you should be reviewing
other patches anyway?
