I think this is very reasonable.
The important change with RC1 is that once the release has been
coined, the branches are created and the mode immediatley changes
to the "only-Karolin-can-push-after-bugzilla-review" mode.
To my understanding, it is hence not so important how this first
RC is done, and it should be perfectly ok if Andrew cuts it in
his proven manner.

Just my 2 cents..
