Please add "priority" to advanced fields when entering a new bug. It is unnecessary labour and eating system ressources when one has to make another server request and create a second flood of e-mails just in order to adjust the suggested priority which one usually would nkow in the moment one enters all other bug data. Thanks.

The person would only know it if they planned on working on it (or where a PM making others work on it). Priority is for internal use.
We don't actually use priority as anything, other than how Hexmode has been using it

Not reopening because it appears of too low priority to myself, but reporting: I did not set pririties any more in my bug reports as advised in this thread. I received a series of e-mails because of the priorities changed in bugs submitted by me. They were all set the same I had done, if I had set them. In other words: Having had the opportunity to set priorities at the bug reporting page, that had saved another person adjusting them and sending and recieving and reading some e-mails meanwhile, without making anything else worse.

You can change when emails are sent to you if you want. For instance, if you don't want to be notified when someone just changes the "priority, status, severity, or milestone" there is a pref for that here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Since, as bugmeister, I have to read all new bug reports anyway, setting the initial priority is just another part of my job and not that difficult. Currently, when you open a bug, it gets set to "unprioritized" until I set it. We've been discussing much of this on wikitech-l.
