IMHO, there should a current stable release branch (aka 4.1.x) and

write maintainers, zip, nada, no one).
How does this differ from only allowing release-relevant changes on
mainline for those two weeks and branching after, rather than before
this period?

I think the point is, no one would be allowed to commit any patches to 4.3 until
4.2 is released. This would provide the incentive for everyone to concentrate
on 4.2 and get it done. 4.3 could be simply locked out until 4.2 gets done.
It would solve the problem.
