To be politically correct I'd propose to add to that list also :
- Eid ul-Fitr (the end of the Ramadan) and the days around it
- Diwali
- Chinese new year
- Pesach
and probably quite a few more.

In that sense it may also be an idea to put sunday morning on the list
(irc and the list are very quiet at that time).

Of course that is not going to work.

Actually it might even be better do do big changes in quiet times, as
there is less interference with other changes.
(I seem to recall Koen mentioned that he already had to fix some
fallout for non applying patches when pushing my autotools_stage
removal patch, and that was only a day or maybe two after the patch
was posted).
And of course that patch could have been posted as individual patches,
but I doubt anyone was going to review 500 or so (forgot the number)
of patches.

THere are pr's and con's to both.
