Not sure if it makes any sense but maybe could we have something like
"freeze tag changes until desc is better".

I propose this because testers will not _really_ want to -1 karma, and
as a maintainer it might be a bit hard, but with a good reminder like
"not pushed to stable until desc is better" I would have made less
mistakes

yes not being reminded is not an excuse and such proposal would not save
time, still I believe it could help more than hurt
