I'm not sure what you mean by outsiders.

You're right, someone needs to define this.  For Zope 3, the release 
manager goes through the collector and marks bugs that have to be fixed
before the release as critical.  I really don't know what the process
is for Zope 2, but I did not that there were 9 bugs in the collector
marked critical.  In any case, the release manager should make the call.
