I think that n should be a function of the number of accepted patches that this person sent in before, and the number of regressions he caused in the past.
Ie, new developers have to wait a considerable amount of time - while experienced developers who never caused a regression should be able to write patches that are immediately applied. Also, if anyone causes a regression - that would lead to them having to wait longer the next time before they can apply the patch - a good reason for a developer to put extra time into making sure there are no regressions.
