[teampractices] Fwd: "Needs Volunteer" priority field value in Phabricator

[Andre Klapper]

Heads-up: I sent the email below to wikitech-l@ but teampractices@ folks
might have some helpful experience whether the two lowest "Priority"
field values in Phabricator are really needed in daily life, or if we
could just merge them into one (just "Low"). Please comment in Phab.

Thank you!

> Or could we reduce our six levels with five levels?
> 
> 2) If there is a need for a level below "low": Let's rename "Needs
> Volunteer" back to "Lowest" (Looking at the proposed names in T78617,
> "Lowest" seems to be the least confusing term / smallest evil.)
