I've now got the message in Bodhi that it's been 14 days in testing and 
can be pushed to stable now if the maintainer wishes - but I still can't 
do it: there's no "push to stable" link, editing the update to set 
"Request" to "stable" has no effect, and neither does the bodhi cli 
client, which reports back:

   "This critical path update has not yet been approved for pushing to
    the stable repository.  It must first reach a karma of 2, consisting
    of 0 positive karma from proventesters, along with 2 additional
    karma from the community. Or, it must spend 14 days in testing
    without any negative feedback."
