I don't think setting priority purely based on how much attention a bug has got is a good model, otherwise why bother having a priority at all - why not just auto-generate it based on that (hmm, bug heat?). Priority is supposed to be what we want it to be, rather than reinforcing that's it's okay to ignore something just because it's not been done already.
