[Python-Dev] Make 'normal' the default tracker priority level

[Terry Reedy]

Currently, the 'default' Priority for new tracker issues is '- no 
selection -'. This is, I believe, widely understood to be equivalent to 
'normal'. Consequently, almost no one bothers to make a selection. This 
applies even to experienced people like (in the last hour) Jesus Crea 
(#8536), Eric Smith (*8538), and Mark Dickenson (*8540).

If possible, I think 'normal' should be the default in the hox or else 
there should be some sort of auto replacement.

Currently, there are tracker maintainers spending time doing the 
replacement by hand. Sean R. has even requested privileges for someone 
in part just so he can do so too. Such activily strikes me as silly. I 
think it should be made unnecessary either by improving the tracker or 
by being declared to be unneeded. The only time a person should set the 
field to change it from normal (or to reverse such a change).
