Are you suggesting that we should forbid people from working on
lower-priority bugs anytime a higher-priority bug exists? That would
probably just reduce the amount of contribution. You can't force
anybody to work on the higher-priority ones.
Sure, in an ideal world people work on the high-priority stuff.
However, often somebody either prefers to work on a lower-priority
bug, or finds it easier to do so. Simply marking a bug as
high-priority doesn't make the bug get resolved.
Bottom line is that people work on what they work on. Unless you can
find people to work on the stuff that you want done you need to make
work go away.
