The only think I can come up with that sounds reasonable to me is
PATCH_BLOCKED_BY_FREEZE, but that just seems too long.  How about just
modifying the description slightly, that is:

Keyword name: BLOCKED_BY_FREEZE
Keyword description: This keyword should be used for bugs for which
    action can be taken by the maintainer once feature/ui/string/code
    freeze is removed, but for which all further actions are blocked
    until that time.  Should be reserved for bugs containing a patch
    that is ready to be committed.
