Working originally from Tim's list, I propose to start using the priorities in the SF tracker to try and manage the outstanding work for 2.4. Here's the proposed list:

Priority 9: - MUST be done before the next release (whether it's a3, b1, b2, or whatever) Priority 8: - MUST be done before b1. It's a functionality change, and it's needed for 2.4. If it's not done before b1, it will have to wait until 2.5, whenever that might be. Priority 7: - SHOULD be done before 2.4 final. I'm going to go through and start updating various open bugs and patches with priorities. How can you help? I'd really prefer that people not run around setting priorities themselves - instead, if you could let me know of bugs/patches that you think should be changed, let me know, either via email, or via IRC - #python-dev on irc.freenode.net.

OK, but how about a further tweak (I use priorities to manage IDLE):

Priorities 7 - 9 are reserved and modifiable only by the Release Manager.

Priorities 6 and below are not reserved and may be modified as desired within the range 1 - 6.
