Issue weight migration

[Brandon Allbery]

Isn't there already a "needs triage" label separate from this? Which would
make that plus explicit priority a suggested priority to guide whoever's
doing triage. (I expect triage goes beyond simply priority setting, e.g.
making sure it has the right component(s) and maybe assigning specific
people who know that component.)
