Sort of. One of the mot important differences between a
bug-controller and normal triagers is the ability to set importance
(and some status).  This is one of the reasons we ask for it.

But I have followed mfish's bugs on LP, and am happy he *does* set
the importance, most of the times ;-)

Yep. Very good work, and we do thank you (using a different hat than
a triager's). But the above is not triage...

Thank you for that one...

Marked as Medium, agreed.

Thank you for your help, and welcome in!
