The question is less for us than for occasional contributors who see their patches or feature requests languish on the tracker, and lose interest.
To be honest, most patches and feature requests languish much longer than the beta period, because of lack of manpower and/or interest of a core developer.
And when a core developer gets interested during the beta period, all they need to do is post "Nice patch/idea, let's discuss and commit it after feature freeze". If the contributor is put off by that, well.
There are several ready or almost ready patches which did not have time to jump on the train. E.g. C implementation of lru_cache or Kristján's nice enchancement for HTTPResponse (this is only my fault, I just forgot about this patch).
And some my patches wait for review longer than year.
