If a bug is RC, the RMs have the authority to make it Severity:
serious. If it's not, the RMs can make it important. [If it's not RC
just for this release, the -ignore tag can be used.]
Any other decision about severities is the domain of the maintainer.
[The one exception to the above is that a maintainer can decide that a
package is not fit for release; they can't do the converse.]
