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 :-)

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Development_prioritization#Why_was_the_priority_lowered?_This_is_important might be relevant here. In short, there's often a miscommunication around how to use priorities. The priority is read as "is this important?" but a lot of times it indicates if someone is working on or going to work on something now or soon.
