Last time the 'unfreeze' period was 1 month (perhaps longer, but I only
noticed that one month). That is a very, very short time to implement
features (with the review process). There still was a lot of activity in
that month.
After that the tree was frozen again and everything slowed down a lot
(understandably). Leaving me waiting for the next unfreeze period. Yeah,
I did fix some small issues, but 1 month unfreeze period is too short.

6 months of development with 3 month freeze period sounds great. This
gives me a reasonable amount of time to upgrade the installation I
maintain before the next Bugzilla release is already out. And hopefully
get to merge all the changes that where made.
