I've done this in my working draft.

How about this paragraph

 * The bug is submitted at one severity, but the maintainer feels that
 a different severity is appropriate.  In the absence of any other
 guideance from the Project Leadership, the bug should be generally
 left at the maintainer's preferred severity.

As I said earlier, diffs are far too much hard work - particularly if
they're full of stylistic and idiolectical changes which I disagree
with.  So, I'm not going to read your diff.  Can't you suggest changes
in prose, instead ?
