Ditto for Core, but I'm trying to open the rel-eng process up a bit and I 
added some folks outside of rel-eng to that alias to help with making 
decisions.

Correct.

It isn't well documented, something I need to add to my RelEng page on the 
wiki.

Basically we take things that fix broken deps (so long as they don't further 
break other deps, or the new build doesn't work somehow), we take things that 
fix crashbugs like wont start at all, or crash if a user clicks this common 
thing.

Mostly it's maintainers stating their case as to why their build needs to be 
included in the Test release, and those of us on the rel-eng alias would make 
a decision as to if we want it in or not.
