+1, but I'd avoid the word "freeze" as it may be confusing.

We're basically asking all developers to refrain from pushing more
backports in that branch until 2.8.3 is released.

I guess the "regression" exception should be better defined,
how about just requesting that any commit to the branch should be
first discussed on the mailing list, after it was prepared as a pull
request against the 2.8 branch ?
