in terms of importance, thereby saving them time and allowing them to address time sensitive issues quicker.

Some matters are more time sensitive than others.

A problem about a donation for star membership would be deemed important - as people want to know if money they've spent has been received and documented.

Glitches that could indicate a hack or a problem with the server (or whatever) are also important.

It reduces wading through the petty to get to the necessary.

Not saying everything else is petty - but petty does happen.

I have not seen a formal announcement.

I am only speculating.
