I got your point, but do you get mine?

What was being discussed was the merging of metadata such as priority and all the other stuff,
which could be problematic on a decentralised system (comments/patches are the easy part), and
I was suggesting to _not_ automatise and risk making mistakes (e.g. priority inversion), but
rather let someone (human being) decide and solve the conflict: the triager.

A server does not delegate, a triager can, so this is a marginal and dynamic centralisation,
rather than a full and static one, like e.g. Bugzilla.
