Personally, I could live with optimizations being included in this
"Cleanup" group (or cleanups being included in "optimizations"... or a
"cleanup and optimization" group... or a bikeshed). We're not looking
to have a complex, fine grained ontology; we're just looking for a
rough labels that lets us broadly categorize the stuff we have to do.
Bug/Feature is the really important distinction.

So, current proposal stands at 4 categories:
 * Uncategorized
 * Bug
 * New Feature
 * Cleanup/Optimization

 And 2 severities:
 * Normal
 * Release blocker

Barring objection, I'll try to find some time this afternoon to
introduce the new flags.

(and, implicit in that -- I'm volunteering to spend some time
processing backlog, too).

Yours,
