This is getting off-topic and a typical bikeshedding, so let's stop it :)

But here, I just give an example how these two fields work on SUSE bugzilla:
These two fiedls are seen as "priority" and "severity".  The former is the
field where only developer or manager touches as the priority of the task,
while the latter describes how severe the bug itself.  They can be totally
decopuled; for example, in this bug, the severity can be critical as a system
crashes, but its priotiy can be low as it hits only few people.

Of course, the usage of such fields pretty depends and is free for other
interpretation.
