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.
FWIW, it would be possible to freeze a branch also in subversion, today.
As for pulling from committer branches: that would require that committers host their branches somewhere.
