Then I think bugzilla needs:
adding more categories such as security,
"security" would be a flag like "regression", not a category.
system calls (lots of
implementation suggestions for posix and non-posix ones),

Bugzilla is for tracking bugs, not for discussing possible
kernel features.
Tracking feature or implementation suggestions wouldn't make sense. Consider e.g. that there are several people on linux-kernel who often write what they think the kernel should do but who never write a single line of code themselves. There's no value in tracking such stuff.
