Should that be info-gnu-emacs that infrequent contributers should look
at before any commit to know whether the trunk branch is in feature
freeze ?

IMO, no.
That list is for official announcements that all _users_ of Emacs might
want to read. This is a vastly larger population than the developer
population, so they should not be bothered with irrelevant (to them)
announcements.
In any case, please do not cc info-gnu-emacs on discussion topics like
this. (Cc: adjusted.)

OTOH this is a very low bandwidth list, and many users would probably be
happy to hear more often about the progress of Emacs development.
So, while it would triple the bandwidth (instead of one message per
release, we'd have 3: "freeze", "unfreeze", and "release"), Emacs users
may actually enjoy knowing a bit more about the development status of
the next release.

Ooops...
Maybe the project status of the trunk branch could be in some README file along with the source, or in the EMACS wiki page (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs) that is pointed to by the project page on Savanna, or, even simpler, right away on the savannah gnu project home page (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs).
Vincent.
