IMHO this won't work. "Priority" is a simple English word, and few people will think that they need to look that up to report a bug. If "Priority" is confusing/misleading, renaming it to "Team's own priority"/"Lead team priority"/etc. would solve the issue. But to direct users to read through lots of text instead of a simple "Don't touch!" which is true in 99 % of all cases is wasteful of their time and energy.

Thanks scfc. These are very good points.
