Notes
RelMan submitted this release and tried to start it. It failed, multistep fix documented below.
Fix mozconfig comparison failures for new android-x86 platform
This platform wasn't present in the mozconfig whitelist at all. This was fixed by https://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/8f74231fbbae. bug 763903 will get this issue raised at checkin time, rather than release time.
Wrong tools dir used when running release sanity
Despite the above fix for the whitelist, release sanity failed with the same error. We discovered that it was running out of /home/cltbld/release-runner/tools/buildfarm/release, which is release _runners_ workdir. Release sanity should run out of /home/cltbld/release-runner/tools/buildfarm/release/tools/scripts/release. Filed bug 879754. Also filed bug 879755 about improving logging a bit.
Bustage fix for manage_masters.py
manage_masters.py was broken in cases where "-R" was specified after a bad patch I landed yesterday. https://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/38e4672de124 was the bustage fix landed to fix it.
Get things going again
After all the above were fixed, we needed to run release runner again, but without rebumping the files. To do this, applied this local patch:

...restarted release runner with 'supervisorctl restart releaserunner', and then marked the release ready again. The releases successfully started this time.
Later on, I noticed that there was an extra "release-runner.py" process still running:

It looks like release runner doesn't die properly when supervisord kills it, filed bug 879763
