But fields are not a good way to request something should be blocking
a release. Right now we have to CC you and then wait for you to reply
and there is no way to keep track of this manually.
With a flag of 4.1blocker, we have + (it is a blocker), - (it is not
a blocker), ? (request for this bug to be a blocker), and not
set.
You can set up flags so only one person is able to set it and only a
group of people can request it.
These seems like a better way than figuring out what the priotity means.
