To increase transparency,  you could also add a clause which ensures
that every exceptional merge needs to be announced on openssl-project:

	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. The intention to merge the pull request
	has to be announced at least 24 hours in advance on openssl-project.

Just an idea.
