[Issue 30216] bug "importance" fields

[Jonathan <jo...@netscape.net>]

I would like to be able to change the default date format for "Insert > 
Fields" in OpenOffice Writer.  The mm/dd/yy format is good for 
spreadsheets, but in formal written documents it is better to spell the 
date out (November 21, 2014).

This should be a user-configurable preference, but when I did a search 
online, I found out that it isn't and that there is an existing bug 
#30216.  The importance for this bug is set as "P3 Trivial."  But I 
understand that "P3" is the usual priority, whereas "Trivial" is the 
lowest severity.  Can I request that somebody please bump it up to the 
second-lowest severity instead?

I notice that a lot of bugs are "P3 Trivial," presumably because they 
were imported from the earlier version of the bug-tracker.  I agree that 
"P3" should be the default "priority," but think that the default 
"severity" for a "P3" bug should be either the second-lowest or the 
middle ("normal") rather than the lowest ("trivial.")

Thank you,
Jonathan

I see what you're saying but I think this kind of change for the database
is not needed and might not work with sorting by date given BZ's setup. I
would actually like to see a YYYY/MM/DD format.

I agree that bugs should initially be assigned "normal" rather than
"trivial".
