It has just been pointed out to me that I should _remind_ people, that setting the priority status on their own bugs is BAD FORM. The exception here really being "Wishlist" is a decent status to set your feature-requests to. Leave them as "New" though, so a second pair of eyes will look and review it too. If you're triaging patches / bugs from other people.. I'm not sure quite what statuses to suggest - lets try not to be too formal for now, but my suggestions would be: Crasher / data loss -> "High" (or perhaps even "Critical" if it is likely to be hit). Board output fault or incorrect netlist likely to cause design breakage -> "High" (or "Medium" depending on likelihood / severity of the design breakage) UI wart / cosmetics -> "Low" Feature request -> "Wishlist" If unsure.. leave it as "Undecided" Most important is confirming the bug, and / or commenting on / discovering a minimal reproduction if not well stated by the original submitter.
