Would it be advisable to have important Marketting,Design,etc..
request deadlines on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Schedule#Development_Schedule
and associated release schedules like:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/13/Schedule

as a one-stop overview that puts request deadlines in context with a
release cycle?

I'm also not sure there's an understood expectation on how long an
initial spin approval process takes so in the case of LXDE spin
specifically the entire process could have been started too late in
the F13 release cycle to get support from other groups in a timely
manner.
