I'd rather see this as a "has patch" flag, similar to "is RFE", rather than 
completely separate trackers. A patch will be aimed at addressing either an 
RFE or a bug fix - so long as people can filter out the tracker items with 
patches attached to find things to review, it makes sense to me to keep the 
patch with the tracker item it addresses.

Another useful categorization would be "what skills are needed to address this 
item" - Python coding, C coding or documentation writing (although this is 
covered to some degree by the existing categories, it may not always be obvious).

Cheers,
Nick.
