Announcements are made for freezing/reopening here on the dev list - that's
about it I'm afraid. Generally speaking, branches are re-opened after
release automatically but the release manager still needs to bump to
SNAPSHOT on the branch. It's usually at that point the branch is officially
reopened. Not a big deal if a commit goes in before that really.
