Thanks to review work by Tom Most,
I have modified and merged https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1502
which addresses test failures encountered against Buildbot's regression suite.

I would like to proceed with doing a Twisted release.

Yay! Let's go!

Does anyone have any PR's that they are working on that they would like
to get into the tree now?

Unless it's a regression, let's not delay any further. The next release will be faster!

Otherwise, I would request Twisted committers to hold off merging to trunk for the next few weeks until the release is complete.

That's not how the release process is supposed to work. Make the release branch, and development should proceed as usual. (Not having any code freezes on trunk is the whole reason the process specifically uses a branch that is merged after the fact.)
