On the OOo releases list you could nominate a bug as a 'blocker' on the
list. LO doesn't have the same (that I'm aware of), but they do have a
'most annoying bug' bug report for releases going forward. As far as I
can tell anyone can add to that bug report with their own bug report
addition. See:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37361
[LibreOffice 3.5 most annoying bugs]
<quote from first comment>
This is the Meta issue to track most annoying bugs for the release of
LibreOffice 3.5.x releases. It helps developers to concentrate on bugs
that are important for users. Also it helps users to be aware of
potential problems.

If anyone wants to raise an Bug for the release, please add the Bug ID
as dependent Bug here to the Meta Bug in field "Depends on".
Additionally please leave a comment here why you think that the bug
should be privileged.

See also http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Release_Criteria
and http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan

So if you've a particular bug that you'd like to see fixed add it
there... of course after first reading:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Release_Criteria
That does include information on blockers, but I've not found any wiki
pages on 'most annoying bug' criteria (yet). So I reckon that until
someone defines the MAB criteria, add your MAB to 37361.
