My opinion is that if there are air bubbles coming from the rib during the boiling phase they need to be relayed. I wouldn't drill a hole in the rib to relieve water that may have gotten under a leaky rib. The right way to do it is to relay the rib. Weep holes on rust blued barrels indicate a potential problem to me. I carefully check these barrels and if it appears that there aren't any problems, I plug the weep hole with glass bedding compound and then boil them to see if the ribs leak.
