This is about expertise, not privilege. For reporters, the priority is 
usually muuuuuuch higher than for us or even other users of Qt, because 
the priority is assessed from the viewpoint of their project.

Let's say I've written this audio player app and found some quirk in 
QtMultimedia that makes skipping impossible every once in a while. Users 
give one star ratings and complain loudly.
What priority is this bug for me? Well, P0 of course.
For us? Not so much...
