Item fix priority

Can someone please explain to me how bug fixes on items are prioritized? I just went through the changelog for June 1 and and noticed about 25 items that were fixed and some even reported within the last month. Yet there are other items that have been specifically "disabled until fixed" by the dev team for 3 years (blackblade of sharahm) and multiple posts from players asking for it to be fixed.

They are prioritized by upvotes and by how many people encounter them I imagine.

It's vanilla content, so the priority sinks further down.
