I have a simpler idea:

 * Let the contributor know that the patch is not suitable for the
   current release period.
 * Milestone the bug to 'later-r' [1]

Then the sponsor-queue script needs to be modified: It needs to check
the bug for 'later-*' tags and only show the bug on the queue once the
release is open. It could addition add a separate table with deferred
bugs.

[1] The tag need to contain the release. Instead of a tag, a milestone
could be used.
