Sure, that's a great question. These would be my criteria at this point:
A bug should be considered release blocking for 25.1 if:
1. It causes loss of user data.
2. It renders core functionality unusable without any acceptable workaround.
This includes: crashing, hanging, runaway memory consumption, exhaustion
of limited resources such as file handles, etc.
The extent of "core" is open to debate, but basically I mean features
used by a great many users.
3. The presence of the bug makes basic functionality annoying or cumbersome.
4. The presence of the bug would cause widespread breakage in community
packages, unless there is an acceptable upgrade path.
5. It impairs the goals of the Free Software Foundation.
In other words, as long as the presence of bug X doesn't make Emacs unsuitable
for use, I'm willing to live with bug X until the next point release.
