Thinking of that a bit more: after the Hg transition, shouldn't we be able to really freeze a branch that is in pre-release approval-needed mode? It is trivial for anyone to commit a fix to their own branch, and then instead of pushing they'd have to notify the release manager to pull from them, as the only person who can push to the frozen branch.
Sure, that should be easy. We could also contemplate Mozilla's model here: they have a hook that disallows all commits, but you can override it by having a specific keyword in the commit message (so the guy who broke the build can push his fix whoever he is, and everyone else will know not to push).
