Well, it also doesn't make as much sense with 'triager' in there and no triagers around. ;) > It is not in fact true that they "can be changed by anybody" (unless > the BZ config has been changed in the last few years and I missed it, > which is entirely possible).

Also note that with no privs you can set the Severity on any bug you file (but cannot change it after that). IMHO, setting these fields just represents noise and more emails generated and doesn't really end up getting you anything other than maintainers who say "yes yes, we know, thanks for some more emails". Back to this case, I am not a DNF developer/maintainer, but I can think of lots of things I would personally prioritze over a slowness issue in fedora-review (data loss bugs, bugs that prevent people from getting updates, crashing bugs, bugs that stop releng from doing things they need to do, etc). In any case, priority/severity should be left to the maintainers to decide (if they want to use them at all). kevin
