Hah, this is exactly the outcome when it comes to discussions about 
priorities in a FOSS community that way.  Who should raise the priority 
to whom? That's not how it's gonna to work because there is no instance 
which is able to set priorities in FOSS communities. (Yes, there are 
exceptions, if the community is organized enough to create featureplans 
with priorities and stick to that. Or if there are sub groups within the 
community who set their own prios. etc.)

It flies the other way round: If that problem is a priority to you, 
great, start working on it. If you are not a developer (often people 
respond that on that kind of advise) that's only a small excuse ;-)

You still could
- try to convince people with arguments why the prio should be higher
- explain _exactly_ how the feature should look like
- check the issue tracker if others have reported, comment there
- wire people together who are involved
- test if the feature is there later
- document and 'advertise' the feature
- maintain the stuff later
These importance of these things are often underestimated.
