The release manager could clone the repository to getting it ready for
release, while the main repository accepts new changesets. The point
would be not stopping commits, ever.

When done, the release manager could tag the release in his/her clone
and push the changes to the main branch, like any other commit.

If the release manager needs some patches for the main repository,
he/she can cherrypick them manually or using a tool like
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/TransplantExtension .

The devil is in the details, like how the release manager repository
clone accesses buildbots, for instance.

This is possible workflow. I don't know what is the actual plan, yet.
