Motivation
We included Merge Freeze (https://www.mergefreeze.com/) as a tool to halt PRs when a critical path has to be accomplished, a release for example, and we don't want other PRs to get merged as this would invalidate part of the work being done for this critical path.
But we also have Mergify, which creates drafts PRs before merging (as we did not want all PRs being co-authored by Mergify), but those PRs also get freezed as those are not part of the exception rule, and are dynamically created.
Fixes #4137
Fixes Partially #3360
