Hi,
I agree with the rest of the text.

I'd suggest something like this:
From: <release-manager@debian.org>
To: debian-devel, debian-devel-announce
Date: 15.05.1999.
Maintainers!
You can start uploading your packages with Distribution: frozen unstable.
EOF
[this is the time where you start getting picky about the packages,
and consult the goal-managers about uploads to frozen]
From: <release-manager@debian.org>
To: debian-devel, debian-devel-announce, debian-announce
Date: 15.06.1999.
People!
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 'potato' has been frozen.
EOF
[this is the time where you get nasty to those who upload to frozen :)]
From: <release-manager@debian.org>
To: debian-devel, debian-devel-announce, debian-announce, scoop@freshmeat :)
Date: 15.07.1999.
Everybody!
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 'potato' has been released.
EOF
In the first time period, you don't have to actually have dists/frozen
directory full; it can be a symlink farm.
