A few things here:

Yes, the feature proposal deadline is for *FESCo* to have reviewed and 
accepted features, as laid out here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy/Milestones#Submitting_New_Features

However, as Feature Wrangler, I'd argue that the milestone name is 
slightly misleading -- and this used to be far more easily dealt with 
when FESCo meetings occurred on Tuesdays, which is the same date as the 
feature submission deadline.

It doesn't help that Feature Wrangler (me) is still fairly new at this 
in some ways... and thus I myself didn't realize that the "submission" 
deadline is actually an "acceptance" deadline.  Which means there are 
currently 14 features waiting for FESCo review that came in between 
about an hour *before* the FESCo meeting, and the end of the day on 
7/12, that I should have pushed back on, but didn't.

I'll follow up to the devel-list on a separate mail that will hopefully 
catch a few more eyeballs, but essentially I'm going to propose to FESCo 
that this feature, along with all of the other features submitted at the 
last moment, be able to be considered.
