Why not add some tag capability to the new tracker (maybe the generic
keywords field you mentioned would suffice)?  People could attach whatever
tags seem appropriate.  Limiting the tags to a (nearly) fixed set of
categories or the names of modules seems limiting.  Given a set of tags you
could also do the tag cloud thing and be more buzzword compliant at the same
time. ;-)
