We have open issues tagged "blocking-exit-3rd-ed-cr"
   https://github.com/w3c/PNG-spec/labels/blocking-exit-3rd-ed-cr

For the testing ones, our options are:

- decide it is tested enough and we have 2 independent implementations, 
so close it
- decide it is tested enough but there are less than 2 impls, so we wait
- decide it needs more tests, so write them
- decide it is not testable, so close it

I just sent a PR which will close #361. It would be good to have some 
discussion on #360, in case any spec text needs to change regarding 
error handling for APNG. Mostly though that one relies on convincing 
Firefox to implement the error-handling behavior they themselves specified.

We have some mostly editorial and spec-polish issues tagged 
"blocking-3rd-edition-cr" which we can either fix or decide are not 
worth the effort
   https://github.com/w3c/PNG-spec/labels/blocking-3rd-edition-cr

Once we believe that implementation status is sufficient we need to 
write an implementation report. Most but not all of that can be 
implemented automatically from the WPT results. To that we would add 
results for any manual tests. We would also add known implementation 
status in other tools (libraries, image generators, etc).

If there are any spec changes compared to the last CR Snapshot (there 
are), we publish a CR Draft. And if any new features have been added we 
follow that up with another CR Snapshot and associated call for 
exclusions (I don't think there are, so we can skip that).

Then we make a minuted resolution to request Proposed Recommendation, 
followed by a transition request for Proposed Recommendation (I can do 
that step). That triggers republication and a 4-week review by the 
Advisory Committee. All being well that produces a W3C Recommendation 
two weeks or so after the review closes.
