Not that it's my business, but IMHO it might be sensible to loosen the
freeze for TLS 1.3 related changes in general,  since that hasn't been
finalized yet. So instead of starting a vote for every pull request in
question, you could also vote about an exceptional rule like the following:

A pull request that introduces a new feature can be merged regardless of
the feature freeze, if it is related to TLS 1.3, and approved by at
least 3 OMC members (without veto, of course)
