Instead of keywords, we could just add bugzilla pseudo accounts for
"string-freeze-break gnome bugs", "ui-freeze-break gnome bugs",
"code-freeze-break gnome bugs". Then to request a break, just cc: the
appropriate address on the bug along with a comment explaining why.
Release/docs/i18n team members would just watch the appropriate address
and so automatically get cc:ed on all the appropriate bugs.
