I agree on the redundancy, but I'm not really comfortable with misusing 
that field. Perhaps we could reinterpret it as "complexity of 
implementation" -- even though that would not allow to distinguish 
internal design issues from numerical issues, etc.

If adding keywords is not possible (or not wanted), I'd rather suggest 
manually adding [TAGS] to the title of the bug. If we agree on a limited 
set of those, it would be simple enough to search for them. As an 
example, some bugs already start with [feature request].
