I don't want to do this, because this would very quickly lead us back to
old chaotic situation where people commit stuff at the last moment and
it's not properly tested. I prefer to have defined merge points.

That's what I don't want to do. I don't want people to be
live-committing into release branch and then merge it back to dev
branch. I want release branch be clean and frozen as much as possible,
and people committing to dev branch as needed. No last-minute bugfixes
either unless it's a bug that absolutely breaks the release - otherwise
it'll be released in a month, most bugs can wait for a month without any
problem, given that they waited till now.
