I noticed a problem with this. I submitted patches to JDT and equinox and bot got verified +1 with the Report-freeze-dates job. But the actual gerrit job did not complete. This can cause trouble. I double checked individual jobs before merging that is how I noticed this problem.
Example : https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/+/173737

One way is to mute the job when it is run and successful as you mentioned
Do you know how this can be done? I didn't find a configuration to implement things as you suggest here.
Or, we can also check if not running the job during the non-freeze period is feasible/easier.
Maybe yes, if it's properly documented on the releng steps for a freeze/unfreeze, it could be enough.
