This contradicts the spirit, culture, and conventions around NMUs which are prevalent in Debian for at least ten years and are written down in DevRef 5.11.1. NMUs can happen for any package, for any bug, at any time, and are not tied to any bugs types, bug severities, or permissions from GR outcomes. Obviously it makes sense to follow the conventions from DevRef; the text there explicitly also mentions wishlist bugs, and differentiates between bug severities only in the choice of the recommended DELAYED queue. Inventing NMUability rules tied to bug severities in a GR seems counterproductive to me.
