I think just having something like a 'blocks-gate' tag would be fine. I'm not
sure it could be badly abused. I'm envisioning elastic recheck giving a message
along the lines of:

    This failure has been tagged as a gate blocking bug, please avoid
    rechecking until it has been addressed.

This should inform people that they shouldn't blindly recheck that patchset and
it has limited scope for abuse.
