If you need fixes in Contrib, I would think it's best to push them to an update folder and not mess with what has been released. The idea of freezing the repo forever is that we can go back and look at exactly what was done, perfect or not. Updates are just that, updates.
That's correct, updates should go to contrib/updates, not to contrib/release.
But this is the thing which is automatically managed by ABF. Paltform admins should mark a platform as 'released' and then all new builds will be published to 'updates' repository.
But this is completely opaque for maintainers and ABF users - they just build packages for 'contrib' or 'main' repos, as usual.
