The general guidance is patch should be posted prior to stage1 close; some iteration on the patch is certainly allowed. If the patch requires major rework then we deal with those on a case-by-case basis. I think Jason has once characterized it as "no new concepts" after stage1 close.
We also usually give some port, language and runtime maintainers a bit more leeway. You've clearly met the submission deadline, so it's in the hands of the Fortran maintainers to decide if this should go forward. jeff
