Bear in mind, the default would be no priority label.  We only need to
put a priority label on an issue where there's a need to track it.

My thinking was that there's a need to mark things that are lower than
normal priority where we are basically saying we would accept a fix,
but it's unlikely someone here is going to do it any time soon - ie.
encouraging the reporter or others who do consider it a priority to
work on it?  So yes, "contribution-welcome" was suggested as a label.
It seemed a little friendlier than telling someone their issue isn't
important to us! :-)

That reminds me that Geertjan and I had a conversation a while back
about the little annoyances that are quick fixes being labelled
"papercuts" along the lines of
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts/Mission

Best wishes,

Neil
