The last time I tried to set a phab ticket's priority, I was basically told that volunteers shouldn't be doing that, i.e. changing priorities of phab tickets was reserved to WMF staff. Some clarity around this would be appreciated :-)

Brian explains this well, I'd just like to add that it's still very useful to know if you think something is a high priority. Instead of setting the priority of the task, you can comment and explain a bit, this kind of context is always welcome, especially for newly hired WMF staff.
