Maybe to keep things simple, we could say something like:

"""
No new features can be added anymore so developers focus on stability 
and the GNOME Documentation Project can document the existing 
functionality. Bugfixes of existing features are still allowed.

To break Feature Freeze you need two approvals from the release-team. 
Changes impacting user help should be announced to 
gnome-doc-list gnome org.
"""

because relatively few freeze break requests have any bearing on 
documentation. Would this be OK?
