Good question, which I cannot answer.

I multiple times expressed my opinion that our process for nominating
release blockers - better: for ensuring that no release is made with a
known blocker-worthy issue - is broken. The fact that a basic
requirement - adding an issue to the "depends on"-list of the meta issue
- cannot be fulfilled a some people somehow seems to strengthen this
point of view.

Well, probably you can request the "canconfirm" privilege for IssueZilla
- this is done by sending a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -, which
should implicitly give you the permissions to modify the dependencies
list. So I'd guess.

Ciao
Frank
