Set bug importances
Bug importances are the priorities given to a bug report in Launchpad to be worked on by each project involved.
Ubuntu Bug Control sets importance for the Ubuntu project.
The rest of projects use their own scale for importances, so their set priorities can be different.
Before setting an importance, check the panel hasn't got errors that are obvious to you.
