We often plan projects in release stages including a limited alpha to a few customers who are interested in a feature. We expect that during the alpha period, the developer who worked on the feature will need to make changes and address feedback from the users. And the same after a general release. We have longer rotations than yours so there is usually time to schedule this in around feature releases before that developer is responsible for general defensive work.
