I'm getting confused.  Are you talking about NEWS file categories or
bugs.python.org categories?

There is no definite "correct category" when you're mixing different
classification schemes (what kind of bug it is --
bug/security/enhancement/etc. --, what functional domain it pertains
to -- networking/concurrency/etc. --, which stdlib API it affects).
That's the problem I was pointing to.
