I don't see why the means to overturn a NOTABUG resolution should be
coupled to the blocker status.  If I were the reporter, I would first
reopen the bug.  If the maintainer continues to close it with unhelpful
comments, I would raise the issue on the devel list to build support for
my position or find out if there's a better way to address the issue.  I
assume the ultimate way to appeal a bad decision is to place the issue
on the FESCo agenda, though I have never done that myself.

Once it is established that the bug is valid and will be kept open, it
can be considered as a blocker like any other bug.
