Here is what we propose:

1. Only BLOCKER fixes to master. If there's something else that needs to
get in, it can be discussed with the RMs on a case-by-case basis.

-1 -ish
What you’re effectively saying is to freeze/block master from new changes until 
4.6.0 releases which could take anywhere from one week to many weeks. In 
reality that may be undesirable and can contribute to loss of developer 
productivity time.

Few suggestions, though I’m not sure that best way to go forward: why not 
create a 4.6 branch and merge it back when 4.6.0 releases? Alternatively, 
create a development branch on which development can continue and we merge it 
back to master when that branch is stable enough and 4.6.0 has released?

2. Atleast one of the reviewers of a PR should do the actual tests. We do
not have good CI in place and travis just does simulator tests.

+1 some of us talking in the background to setup an automated QA system to use 
existing marvin tests to do long running integration tests but other than 
Travis or Jenkins (b.a.o) we don’t have anything.

Until we
have a real hypervisor CI in place, manually testing the PR is a must.
Also, LGTM(or +1) should be accompanied with whats tested and why you are
giving LGTM.

+1 at least one person other than the author should have run the PR and tested 
it manually or otherwise to increase reliance of the patch quality.
