Bug#768326:

[hcmmac at hosscomm.com]

I agree with both replys to this bug report so far.
I do think this bug is important, but not in the same sense the Debian bug
tracker needs to at this critical time. So with all these things being said,

Since I am a member of the package mate team and am learning about the
'protocols' and 'procedures' - Is it ok that I downgrade this bug to severity
normal? I will also note that an issue will be filed upstream(if there already
isn't). I don't want to break protocol nor do I want to appear heavy-handed.

I guess I am asking really is "Should I handle this bug this way and move on?"
