It's pretty lame that the keywords input on the Bugzilla form can't accept
"consensus" as a match for "community-consensus-needed". The input appears to
be strictly prefix-based for suggestions.

> I suggest to keep "shell" (or shell's new name) as prefix.

My general view here is that the keywords field is basically a tool for
Bugzilla power-users and any random user who tries to use this field will
invariably do it wrong. Even experienced users (like me!) will sometimes screw
up, regardless of how clear the keyword _or_ its description text is. (And I
agree that nobody ever reads these description texts.)

Bugzilla keywords are simple markers of particular patterns. Let's not
overcomplicate this. :-)  shellpolicy was bad and community-consensus-needed is
better. If we can find something even better than community-consensus-needed,
we can use that. shell-onhold doesn't seem to be any better, though.
