How soon will the raffle open/close? I'm sure there's a few people that would like to enter Lin's, LZ's, and Mira GBs but can only choose one or two 
(me included)
Currently looking at opening on Feb 22.
That's a shame, not that there is any doubt that you won't get enough entries, but it'd be great for everyone to get exactly what they want without sacrificing.
It's always going to be a bad time for someone. However, the person making the board is who matters most when it comes to time, and that is when Lin can do it!
Can always do the raffle in advance and set the order at a later date 
But ultimately the decision is up to Lin and yourself as you said.
I think we're all pretty grateful to have even gotten a chance at these boards. That being said I think theres some stress involved when there are 3 high end customs going on around the same time and this is the only one that is limited. Now I know the timeframe is completely up to you guys but I think what was just said would really help some people. If they happen to lose this raffle at least they could participate in one of the other buys.
The issue is that nothing has been finalized yet - quantity, price, colors, plate types, etc etc. This IC was probably posted a little too early in the process. I personally don't feel comfortable starting a GB with so many unknown factors. The prototype was already delayed.
I truly am sorry for those that are having a difficult time deciding. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can really do about it. There just happened to be a lot of custom GBs happening at the same time as the IC for this came out. I hope you all understand.
