I agree with Austin on this one, it makes sense to be realistic, but I'm
concerned about just blanket reducing the priority on all flakes. Two
classes of issues that could certainly be dropped to P2:
- Issues tracking flakes that have not been sickbayed yet (e.g.
https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/21266). These tests are still
providing signal (we should notice if it goes perma-red), and clearly the
flakes aren't so painful that someone felt the need to sickbay it.
- A sickbayed test, iff a breakage in the functionality it's testing would
be P2. This is admittedly difficult to identify.

It looks like we don't have a way to label sickbayed tests (or the inverse,
currently-failing), maybe we should have one?

Another thing to note: this email is reporting _unassigned_ P1 issues,
another way to remove issues from the search results would be to ensure
each flake has an owner (somehow). Maybe that's just shifting the problem,
but it could avoid the tragedy of the commons. To Manu's point, maybe those
new owners will happily discover their flake is no longer a problem.
