In general, the development phase is already over when a merge window
is opened.  That means, only fix patches should be merged after that.
As a rule of thumb, I'd take patches to stable kernels at any time,
but the rest depends on urgency (or it has been already submitted /
reviewed but I forgot to merge, etc).
