and a dedicated team with front-end, back-end, and UX.
* **Small features**: any other feature request.
**Large features** must be with a maintainer **by the 1st**. It's OK if they
aren't completely done, but this allows the maintainer enough time to make the

doesn't think it will make it, they should inform the developers working on it
and the Product Manager responsible for the feature.
**Large features** must be with a maintainer **by the 1st**. This means that:

MR later in the cycle.
**Small features** must be with a reviewer (not necessarily maintainer) **by the
