For the release two additional tasks are required. The first is to create the branch and the second is to push bugfixes to the right branch. In both cases this is done by selecting another branch in the destination branch when pushing your changes. In case of creating the release branch the right destination branch is refs/heads/release/DATE, asking for review is done through the refs/for/release/DATE branch.
