This sound complicated for the occasional (staging-) contributor.

How should I determine when the next round is about to start? I can't
even spot that "staging is nearly fully built" and hydra's web-front-end
is slow. Further I do not have the time for monitoring hydra and catch
the time-window then I can push my commit. For me this does not work out
- and I assume for others if doesn't, too.

Is there some queue-for-staging branch where I can commit this patch to?
Or some other means, like setting some bug-status?
