Why? I've got all my packages free of release-critical and important
bugs. I occasionaly go out and look at some bugs on other packages,
but it's a lot of work to get familiar with a package. I'm well
overcommited on time; if you say I can't work on Debian, I'll go work on
the Unifont, or do stuff for Project Gutenberg, or work on Sherall.
A better idea (well, maybe) would be to turn off most of the mailing
lists until the freeze is over. Think of all the stuff we could do if
we weren't wasting time arguing over minor and stupid stuff.
