cite concerns and goals. One of my concerns, given how bad things are stability-wise, we're probably going to need to set a goal for bug points that is a bit higher than it's been in the past.
Points are good, but they don't quite give the feel of readiness. Last time, we still waited a long time after the points were achieved. I propose the following: each person with commit rights has the right to name any number of blocking bugs, without having to argue for them (simply by the personal annoy factor). Of course we should try to be reasonable in our requests, but once everyone's pet peeves are gone it will be easier to get the collective determination to release, and it might happen even faster than raising a given number of points on random bugs (or we can do this right after the points run). Of course we will also need a coordinator to keep track of the blockers.
