No, of course not forbid.
I admit it's naïve but I can't believe that it would be neccessary.
I expect anyone with the slightest sense of responsibility to solve
problems in order of priority.
Individuals may have different priorities than Gentoo as a whole and
that is and must be fine, but in that case Gentoo's high priority
problems stay unsolved, and I do not at all think that it's
catastrophical to have unfixed high priority problems.

Yes, you can't force anybody to do anything unless you motivate them,
usually with money. The state of Gentoo always did and always will
equal the sum of contributors' work.

I certainly don't think the work needs to go away if the work is
considered to be important. It's fine to have open bugs for years
in the absence of a good solution.
Things happen when they happen. If someone cares then they fix and
ideally it is so easy for them to contribute the fix that they will.
If noone cares then bugs stay unfixed and then the bugs don't matter. ;)
