Im not a member of the team, i know, but it seems that there is
starting to become an aulful lot of politics involved with the
project. I didn't think that ReactOS was that big already...

I agree with everything, including removing "The TC has final
say over the priority of a bug." which caused all this, but
is it really right to remove:
"By his election, the developers have agreed to trust in his
judgement related to bug priorities"? It would seem to me
like that's a given. It doesn't represent any grant of power,
just states the obvious. We're voting for Foo as TC because
we trust he'll be a good TC.
If it's a given and obvious, there's no reason to put it in? The problem
with the sentence is that it can be read to imply that the TCs decisions in
this regard cannot be overridden by a developers vote. Since it didn't seem
to add anything but could be misinterpreted, the simplest solution was to
just drop it.
Addtionally:
"must not hinder any legitimate efforts that the TC is
attempting in order to prioritize bugs." is also not an
adtional grant of power, but simply specifies that if the TC
thinks Bug XXX is low priority, a developer (i'm talking
about one, not a majority) shouldn't constantly raise it back
to BLOCKER just because he feels this is very important to
him. I think this is also normal curteous behaviour...

(http://www.reactos.org/archives/public/ros-dev/2005-October/005779.html)
that "legitimate" isn't very precise. Again, since it doesn't add
anything
(the TC is given administrative control over the Bugzilla installation in
the previous paragraph) I dropped it.
