I think that's a fine policy, and usually try to stick to that myself, but got behind this time by a couple days. To be fair though, I wouldn't call this last minute. There is still a week and a half of merge window. I do realize there is unfortunate timing with OFA falling in the middle of the merge window though.
Usually kernel maintainers are busy during the merge window with addressing merge conflicts and with analyzing and fixing regressions. I don't know any maintainer who accepts new patches during the merge window. Most maintainers get irritated if patches that are posted during the merge window and ignore such patches.
