We specifically ignore priority on bugs right now. Bug submitters can  
set the field however they like, and everyone thinks *their* bug is  
the most important. Until that field is locked so only the assignee  
and triagers can modify it, it's not useful.

If a bug is *actually* high-priority it'll get added to one of the bug  
trackers by the triage team.
