The current descriptions of the priorities in JIRA [1] IMO aren't too helpful, since they focus too much on impact on a release. But I also feel that the right priority is a computation of several factors, including Severity, Impact, whether it's a regression, and whether there's a workaround. Based on this I tried to come up with an 'algorithm' for JIRA bug priorities a while ago: https://wiki.qt.io/JIRA-Priorities In general I think the prioritization works somewhat, except that we're putting way too many things in the P2 basket.
