Right, but the above sentence had in my opinion the intention that
even QA-Members not have the permission so set a bug to priority fixed
and this should be made clear. Also what should a QA-Member do if he
finds a grave/important bug during freeze time and the maintainer isn't
reachable? Do we have to wait until he's back and release a buggy
version or is debian-qa to make a NMU or even close the bug?
Cheers
