The To - Do List proposed in the project
<https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2015/bhaveshgoyal093/5676830073815040>,
'Dashboard for Admins' gives the admin, a list of pending tasks which
require his immediate attention. The tasks particularly include those of
'Held Messages' (pending for moderation) and 'Subscription Requests'.

Now, among the pile of pending tasks, some Tasks may be of higher
importance than the others to the admin which he can quickly mark to get
them completed first, the next time he sets up to clear the pending list.
Thus color supported Priority Levels have been given and can be set with
each of the tasks, sorting the important ones out from others.

Discussion Statement :

Whenever a new task gets added automatically ( when someone makes a
subscription request for instance), what priority level should it be
assigned. ?

One Approach can be to keep a separate level of 'unprioritised' tasks and
assigning a specific color value to this level (uncolored may be),
separating them out from the others as the ones with 'priority level not
set'.

Other Solutions which I think can exist can be, choosing a default priority
value for the newly added ones from among low/medium/high (only), limiting
the number of colors to 3 instead of 4 for may be a more simpler
(memorable) operation.
