Hi,
it's obvious that freezing testing requires the extra amount of work for
someone to check every single frozen package with a more recent version
in unstable whether sarge lacks required fixes.
They might be RC bugs like #237071, but it's also possible that an
upload fixed a security bug [1] or other RC issues that had no RC bug or
no bug at all in the BTS [2].
Most of the work will be after the full freeze, but even the base freeze
has over 40 such packages that require manual checking.
It's obvious, that it wouldn't work to say the maintainers of the
packages were responsible for this task.
Since I astonishingly discovered that this task hasn't been completed
for the frozen base packages until now, I'd like to know which member of
the release team is responsible for doing this task?

[1] the woody DSAs cover only the subset of issues that are also present
in woody
[2] even version tracking in the BTS wouldn't help you with such issues
