Yes, this makes more sense than just +1 and -1.

But no, please no! While it should definitely prevent an automatic push if 
the maintainer enabled that, it should not keep the maintainer from pushing 
anyway. I've seen way too many invalid accusations of updates causing new 
problems, which actually turned out to be various types of false alarms, 
e.g. issues caused by another update or even hardware, issues with a 
previous testing update already fixed in the edited one being commented on, 
"problems" which aren't actually bugs, but intentional changes (e.g. the old 
behavior was the bug) etc.
