This may piss people off ("what? my bug is not in their plans?!").
How is that different from how we've been pissing people off with ~2500 bugs against MediaWiki that were opened more than six months ago and have sat, ignored, without resolution.
I think we're already pretty effectively communicating to a lot of people that their bug is not in our plans.
I'm trying to find ways to deal with that. In the mean time, no one is stopping someone from changing the priority if they feel it is justified.

Defaulting new bugs to a low priority doesn't seem very friendly to new users. They don't know (and shouldn't have to know) what the bugmeister's organization is.
You're right: they don't need to know anything about how I'm trying to manage things.
Still, the priority field isn't being used only by me. Rob and I have been discussing how to we can use it to manage the real priority for each developer and component in Bugzilla. We're getting closer to that and you should see the assignments of bugs changing as we make the use of the more intuitive meaning of “priority”.
