Exactly, I wasn't planning on doing any concurrent development, so I
didn't see any need to branch. I specifically timed my changes so they
where after the last stable release of 2.22.

We are currently in a period where there are no string freezes in place
(except perhaps for stable branches, where they exist). I suggest that
your string freeze notification script is slightly broken for the case
that a module does not make a stable branch!
