Bug ID: 54031
Summary: Consider/Evaluate "Priority" setting restrictions
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Bugzilla
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Having talked to a number of Wikimedia (Foundation) development teams in the
past, two or three teams that do not primarily use Bugzilla but other tools
often mentioned that anybody can change the "Priority" field in of bug reports,
so that priorities might not reflect anymore what the team really plans to work
on.
This does not mean that it is planned to introduce restrictions when it comes
to setting/changing priorities of bug reports; I'd just like to drop some
collected information here that might help evaluating later (if needed and
wanted).
