7 Usually I think so yes. If it is an urgent stabilisation there is
8 priority field.

13 According to the Bugzilla docs: "Severity - How severe the bug is, or
14 whether it's an enhancement." so there is no such thing as an "enhanced

28 According to the bug wrangler docs STABLEREQ should be handled by the
29 maintainer. Why should there be a difference whether a user or a dev is
30 requesting stabilisation?
