That seems a rather poor way of handling it TBH. A key thing is that an 
escalation for a decision should itself be a release blocker, because if 
someone thinks the issue might be, then we should get a decision on whether it 
is or not before the release goes out. Relying on a comment seems far too easy 
for the release manager to accidentally miss it or forget about it.
