No.
We do not give release dates. We will not, period. And aside from that,
given that 3.6 hasn't reached final release yet, what makes you think
there will be a 3.7 released in a month, or 4.0 in a year?!? Or that we
have any kind of final feature list for these non-existent versions?

If you would look at the MegaPOV project, you would see that they do
have such guidelines. This is fairly irrelevant to how long it takes to
include something in the official version, because most of the time to
include a patch is taken by redesign of the code and syntax, and then
extensive testing in private, then public betas. As has been said many
times, making an official release consists of far more than throwing a
bunch of patches in and getting it to compile!

The POV Team asks permission of the author, using donated code usually
isn't a problem. And the TAG has little to do with this.
