No gas is released if the pilot goes out. Electric ignition is a little cheaper to run as it doesn't have a pilot light running all the time. Use a match if the electric ignition goes out. My new 2013 kitchenaid gas stove top will not operate when the power is out.
If the oven has a pilot light, you will see a gas tube that may or may not have a small blue flame burning at its end. If the oven has a glow bar, however, you'll see an insulated electronic device centered in the burner. Consult an appliance repair person to service a glow bar.
