Actually we already have an underutilized 'info-guix' list. I suppose
that can work.

It will be difficult for the server to distinguish between 'bug fixes'
and 'huge rebuilds'. Not sure if the --force flag propagates to servers
the way you are thinking of, but perhaps it can work (not a great habit
though!).
Also, we'd have to bother the Savannah admins every time we 'freeze' a
branch.
Another option could be to create a tracking bug with a special tag that
can be displayed by issues.guix.gnu.org. It could also show any merge
blockers such as <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/41598> to make it
easier to contribute.
