We already have a security category for security related issues, so I
don't think that should skew the sorting. As for the rest of your
proposed order, then that is a matter of personal taste: Do you really
think that adding new features is more important than fixing bugs in the
existing documentation?
Part of the problem with gnats is that its report generation is fairly
primitive; having started use bugzilla on GCC recently, the difference is
clearly vast.
