Having looked at it, that seems like a sensible way to go, so to keep
this momentum, can I suggest the following.

Enable the 'type' field: with:

 * Uncategorized (default)
 * Bug
 * New Feature
 * Optimization

Enable the 'severities' field, with:

 * Normal (default)
 * Blocker

As for the gardening, there are about 1700 open tickets that need the
type setting. Those needing the severity field changing to 'Blocker' can
be found more easily here:

http://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&keywords=~regression&col=id&col=summary&col=keywords&col=status&col=owner&col=component&order=priority

Can we get 20 volunteers to do this, and someone to volunteer to
organise us all?

I'm happy to spend time doing, say, 100 tickets. We could perhaps divide
up by ticket number to avoid duplicating work, remembering that there
are far more open tickets with higher numbers. Remember we can use the
batch modify plugin to avoid sending 1000s of e-mails, but if you are
not a Trac admin you'll need some permissions adding, probably
temporarily, to use that feature.

Luke
