Improve scripts to allow developers to add a hint about patch priority
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> After this patch, a new meta-tag will be added, to give a hint about the priority: low - patches that add new drivers that aren't ready for kernel, but it would be interesting to be at the main tree; normal - Patches that will be merged on the next merge window; high - Bug fixes Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
