This is still up for discussion, I guess. And it will also depend on
how this can be implemented.

Ideally, "fedpkg build" would print a warning like "Mass branching is
in progress, no builds can be submitted at this time.", but I'm not
sure how hard that would be to implement.
I think koji can already respond with something like an "there's an
outage, try again later" error message, so it at least seems like it
should be doable.

No. Builds are doomed to be in the wrong state as soon as they are
submitted during that time window (for example, "build was submitted
when rawhide was still f38, but rawhide will be f39 once this build is
finished"). The packager would need to retry to submit after releng
has finished with their work (so, similar to how other infrastructure
outages).

That would be nice, but I don't know how hard that would be to implement.

Incomprehensible stack trace would be quite bad.
