Well, it really depends *which* bug you consider, see for instance [1]. > > Work towards fixing these bugs is greatly appreciated.

That's a good question, but also not-a-problem. Current *legacy* guidelines (i.e. non-overridden by the Release Team) already allows you to do very quick DELAYED/2 NMUs for RC bugs which have been outstanding for a while [2]. I've been doing that for a while now, and IME it is generally welcome by maintainers [3]. So, please, do not expect any further specific authorization from the release team before feeling entitled to NMU, you can already go a long way with legacy NMU rules. You don't need anything more to start squashing RC bugs today, really :-) Cheers.
