Done.  If we must have a number, 3 is better than 1, though I would hate
to see people come and say, "I did three patches, how soon can I get
approved!"

I would like to see what Matthew thinks about this.  I think having the
6 month window in there will weed out most "transients" so we can focus
on those who are serious about contributing to docs.
