In this case I disagree. Given our global nature and the vast amounts
of email we all get, I think a friendly little svn commit hook
reminder is a simple and workable solution. This commit lock really
doesn't need to be in place for very long. Optimistically, I only
need it long enough to create the tags, which /normally/ should take
me 10 minutes.

All community members with svn write privileges must subscribe to the Python developer list. Committers must check the lists prior to a check in if a release is immanent. Releases are announced at least four days prior to svn freeze so it's not going to be a problem. The problem often lies with occasional committers and maintainers of stdlib packages. People need to show more discipline or eventually we have to (temporarily) revoke their privileges.

Or aggressively back out any changes from freeze time to tag time. If
we don't add the commit hook lock, I will be very strict about this
come the betas.
