Why are you announcing such things one day before the release??
Why not giving the Core Devs some more days - after the 6.0 rumors have calmed down - and take these [1] bugs into account?

You're just about to exclude everybody not able to come to those events. Either because of lack of time or just because of not getting a ticket for T3DD (See the nice waiting list)
Please use a public website or public blog for suggesting and presenting such things.
(And please avoid any private blogs or project specific webpages. Listen to the people complaining about transparency in [2])
