Any reason why this couldn't be NEW - LOWEST priority? As soon as you can then you can raise the priority.
If you want to get rid of RESOLVED LATER. You should first compile a full history of bugs and make a list of all bugs that were once marked RESOLVED LATER and then were given a new resolution.

Things with the lowest priority should be things that "could" be fixed. But we've got no reason to implement ourselves. LATER should be things that for some technical reason outside our control, right-now we cannot fix. They shouldn't be blended into "Lowest" list of bugs that are possible but waiting for some enterprising 3rd party to take on.
eg: Add HTML 5 semantic elements 'details' and 'summary' to Sanitizer whitelist [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29118] RESOLVED LATER due to lack of browser support, waiting the months/years till it is better adopted by browsers and we can defrost the bug.
