Essentially, I want to give patches more attention, since they are
larger contributions. I don't care if bug reports get unnoticed for
years; I do worry if patches get unnoticed/unprocessed for years.

Then a has-patch flag would be okay, wouldn't it, along with assigning
a higher priority?

Sure, that would work as well.

  * flag RFE patches as RFE (patch shouldn't be a category on its own)

This is something Martin and I have disagreed over in the past.  Martin has 
indicated that he'd rather see the patches as separate artifacts rather than 
as attachments to a bug report, while I'd rather see them attached to the 
relevant bug report or feature request.

My thought is that it's easier to deal with fewer items in the tracker.  
Keeping the candidate patches with the bug report or feature request makes 
them readily accessible to a reviewer.  It's not the only way.

I can guess at Martin's thinking, but I'd rather let him speak for himself, 
since I'm not a trained channeller.  ;-)

In the past, someone (I think Raymond) has argued that we shouldn't
close old bug reports because even if no one is interested in
processing them *now*, someone might come along someday who wants to
update that module and fix those bugs or apply those enhancements.

Perhaps we need a 'not dead, not actively pursued' state for patches
and RFEs.

Open with priority 0?
