IMPORTANT: Commit rules for next week's rampdown to M5

[Kevin Rushforth]

As a reminder, only approved changes should be going in this week (with 
the noted exceptions). These rules are in effect until Monday, June 23 @ 
1am, after which the repo is frozen for (in)sanity testing. It is likely 
to remain frozen for a bit longer than usual this time, but should open 
back up Monday evening if all goes well.
