Actually, my quiet time is about rc1 to rc3, because everything I was
dealing with is now in your tree and people haven't added new stuff to
their trees yet (at least not much).  My busiest time is rc6 to the
middle of the merge window as people stuff in all the bits and pieces
that need to be merged (and manage to create conflicts with what you
have already merged during the merge window) :-(
