Then I think bugzilla needs:

"security" would be a flag like "regression", not a category.

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.

That's an interesting viewpoint, only programmers have useful thoughts... ignoring users, people who have CS degrees but don't code, etc. I would think there's value in any rational suggestions which include technical justification for the suggestion.
