[ shrug... ]  You can't force ideas to happen on a schedule.

If you don't want an issue to get forgotten, then make a TODO entry for
it.  But the purpose of commit fest is to make sure we deal with things
that can be dealt with in a timely fashion.  It's not going to cause
solutions to unsolved problems to appear from nowhere.
