Sure he can -- we even have rules for that; those suggest to call it 
2.6.20 even afaics:

If I would review the kernel for the extras merge I'd say "fix this". 
But I suspect davej won't like to call the kernels 2.6.20 (e.g. 
2.6.20-1.2906.rc4.fc7 for example) before they are actually 2.6.20.

This will be one of the problem areas we'll probably have to deal with 
when it comes to reviewing Core packages for the Extras merge.
