That would be great, but I see a problem if we don't define a mechanism to work out these priorities, how should maintainers packaging a new editor decide on a number? Asking -devel? I think a formula similar to x-window-manager should work. It would be possible to penalize non-free editors automatically, for example. Or give more importance to i18n support, or whatever. Anyway, at the least, we should have the file you suggest with current priorities.
