When fixing the bugs for the release how would the commits happen ? I mean do we do the changes to both the branch and the trunk at the same time or is it the release manager who has to do the merging ?

So in answer to your question yes, the person fixing the bug generally does the fix in the trunk first, then merges over to the branch. This means that the person most familiar with the changes is responsible for merging, and the RM doesn't have to do it.
The RM has general responsibility for deciding (or at least facilitating a decision about) *which* fixes are targeted to the branch, but it's the individual coder who does the work.
