Fields can be renamed. All the HTML is based on templates, which are
quite easy to customise. Digging around in the database, I've found a
table that lists field descriptions against field names (I guess for
i18n), so we can as we please.

I have found it useful, however, to retain the severity field (renamed,
perhaps) to describe the type of bug, e.g. bug, enhancement, aesthetic,
etc.

There is another field called "Status Whiteboard" that can be used for
whatever you want - perhaps the wishlist categorizations could go in
here?

Are these different enough to be separate? I know Linux intends to just
call it x86-64.

Ok, will do.
