Among those users there are the internal users i.e. dds, dms, and anybody who needs it to build the 443 packages that build-depend on doxygen. The external users are the complement.
Based on those numbers probably the external users are one or two orders of magnitude more that the internal users. Consequently the maintainer should give precedence to bugs filed by people who use doxygen directly for the purpose of generating documentation, rather than indirectly for packaging. Also because end users do not always file a bug when their encounter an issue, so their input is extremely valuable.

## 3. What is top-priority
Top-priority in this context is what affects a user's main purpose. As a human, top-priority is remaining alive. As a singer, top-priority is avoid loosing the voice.
Out of the metaphor, for external users who use doxygen to create documentation, top-priority is an issue such as a crash that prevents them from generating the documentation. For a dd or a dm, whose main purpose is to produce “the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run”, documentation is a nice-to-have (that’s why most -doc packages are recommended not required). Consequently no doxygen crash encountered during a package build should be automatically considered top-priority (in this context).
