CCing Magnus... I am not sure myself, but I would imagine that the commit fest needs to be "Open" and not "In Process" to be able to add patches.
Sorry, I was out on a long travel day with lots of airplane time. I had this thread on my watch list but hadn't time to fix it.
So the basic reason is that there was no Open commitfest available. Only Commitfest Managers are allowed to "break the rules" and add patches to the wrong commitfest - this is why Michael was able to do that, and pretty much nobody else.
There's supposed to always be one open commitfest. Since none was added when 2015-02 was switched to In Progress (probably because I didn't actually tell Michael about it....), there was nowhere to post new patches.
I have fixed this now by creating 2015-06, which is open for submissions.
