Eventually, when the time of releasing comes, only RMs, essentially, decide which bugs block a release or not. In collaboration with the various specific maintainers, whatever, but certainly submitters cannot decide anything in this area. Maybe something tough to say, but true, as far as I can say. Thus, what's the point of submitter fiddling with those Bugzilla fields? Putting some sort of psychological pressure on people actually working on fixing the bugs? Seems really either pointless or even counterproductive, because RMs (and maintainers) may be in the process of categorizing and triaging according to a specific strategy which submitters don't know and, frankly, in general cannot contribute to decide. In my opinion, as a matter of general policy, submitters should essentially add to the audit trail or close bugs which cannot be reproduced anymore (maybe) very little else.
