Sometimes I browse the bugs, and I like to mark the ones we should really fix
before a release with a higher priority, so they jump to my attention when I
get around to bug fixing. If I'm actually doing fixing, then, like you, I just
fix. Unless it look important, but isn't my area.

That's fine, but if, for example, you see a table-array bug you are going to
skip, and notice it causes a crash, it'd be nice if it was flagged a little
higher than one that simply caused a mis-registered table or something. That
way, when I come in, I'll get to it first.

It would also help if we took a page from the way SF does support, and renamed
the text of the report with keywords.  For example, if I look at a bug that's
labeled "table registration doesn't work", and see it's an iterator table, I'd
add a 'iterator:' prefix, or something like that.

Works for me.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
