i don't think so. seriously, everyone thinks that their issue is the
most important one.
consequently, only the assignee and authorized users (at least members
of a yet-to-be-determined triagers group) should be able to set the
priority. of course this can be circumvented if everyone is able to
assign a bug to himself, but it's still a mental barrier.

on a related note, the jira setup should gain fields that support a User
Pain based priorization process. (idea extensively discussed internally
a few years ago).
we might want to be more lenient about the permissions of these fields.
