Currently, the 'default' Priority for new tracker issues is '- no
selection -'. This is, I believe, widely understood to be equivalent to
'normal'. Consequently, almost no one bothers to make a selection. This
applies even to experienced people like (in the last hour) Jesus Crea
(#8536), Eric Smith (*8538), and Mark Dickenson (*8540).
If possible, I think 'normal' should be the default in the hox or else
there should be some sort of auto replacement.
Currently, there are tracker maintainers spending time doing the
replacement by hand. Sean R. has even requested privileges for someone
in part just so he can do so too. Such activily strikes me as silly. I
think it should be made unnecessary either by improving the tracker or
by being declared to be unneeded. The only time a person should set the
field to change it from normal (or to reverse such a change).
