Personally, I think the ideal hold time is zero. After all, this is how software development usually works. Most version control systems accept changes at any time. If someone else commits a change to a file you are working on, the version control system automatically merges in the other person's changes before you commit.
From my perspective I'd be happy with zero delay. And when I remember to do it I state as such. But I can understand someone feeling some level of ownership over a really complex part (as I recall the was a genuine issue when we introduced the previous change opening the parts up after three months). That's why I tried to keep the proposal flexible enough to allow for people to 'control' their own submissions when they feel the need.
