It's good that this stuff is being discussed. :)

However, I think that very few people will click the little "?" help 
icon when assigning a priority to a bug they're creating. The reason I 
say this is that most of the bugs created go without any markup (which 
means code turns into a mess, text dumps aren't wrapped within a scroll 
area, etc.), the help for which is available through that same "?" icon. 
On the other hand, I doubt many users would be interested in requesting 
these rights (and very few - hopefully none - of those would misuse it), 
so it probably won't be an issue.

Regardless, if we're making changes to Jira, we could add a line of red 
text under the priority field that shows up when a high priority is 
selected, to inform the user that the priority they've selected has 
certain criteria that the bug has to meet.
