I tried looing at patchwork but couldn't figure out what I was supposed 
to do. Please advise on usage instructions.

Instead, I attached a manually generated patch against org.el in the 
development version from git. I created this patch via

$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git
$ emacs org-mode/lisp/org.el # to modify the file and write it to 
org.mine.el
$ diff -rup org.el org.mine.el > org-get-priority.patch

Please advise on proper procedure as I love org and would enjoy the 
chance to contribute in the future.

Thanks,
-I.S.
