Maybe. I'm a newbie, too, but I haven't seen explicit goals, so assumed
the following, which may not be true:
--time-->
foo begun foo frozen foo release
bar begun bar frozen bar release
baz begun ....
At foo's freeze, we begin to add to bar -- we always need a place to add
new stuff. Some comfortable time after foo's release (a month?), we
should start to think more about removing bugs from the new additions,
and freeze bar and begin baz.
It's not quite done this way, but I've idealized it in my head to work
closely. Debian's actually much uglier. Blame our size.

Right here, AFAICT. It'd be swell to hammer out specifics, but not
package specifics -- those _always_ change.
