? That would be an inappropriate place to do so, since those are generic instructions for all the packages using debbugs.gnu.org. Some of them do use those higher severities. The appropriate place would be https://debbugs.gnu.org/Emacs.html But personally I do not think it is worth bothering. IMO https://debbugs.gnu.org/Reporting.html covers it If a report is of a particularly serious bug, or is merely a feature request that, you can set the severity level of the bug as you report it. This is not required, however, and the developers will assign an appropriate severity level to your report if you do not. AFAIK Emacs has made no deliberate decision to avoid the higher severities, it is just they very rarely seem applicable/needed.
