Who has rights to wrangle Gna categories? I'm guessing "Project Admins": cazfi, dmarks, cproc?

Also, there is a "module installer" category for patch that doesn't exist for the bugs...

Perhaps i wasn't clear enough: having many categories is confusing to the user when they go to enter a bug report. The more categories there are, the greater chance that any given bug could conceivably be filed against more than one category.

Normally, I guess that normal users shouldn't be able to edit the category field, neither priority or planned release.

The danger of having too many categories is that users might get confused and file their reports under the wrong heading. I've certainly experienced this when trying to report a problem with another project.

Thought also about "scenario" category for adding maps.

Actually, I hope there will be also an art maintainer, a server maintainer etc... And if one people is working on a big change about one of those category, the search of already existent bugs will be really faster and easier.

It's ok I think using the ruleset category for them, as long they affect the ruleset, is correct. But I'm not opposed to it. But in a such case, there will be also categories like "path finding", "city manager" or any particular module? Or maybe nations do something different?
One question would be (if all agree to adds the mentioned categories) who is able to change this?

I agree the current categories don't match the kind of bugs that are being raised.
However, categories are only useful if you actually want to mechanically process the items -- filter by category, or generate stats, or what have you.
I think the client-XXX categories are useful as different clients are maintained by different people (beyond the core set). Similarly freeciv.org, art, rulesets. Beyond that I'm not entirely sure it's worth it, although I don't feel strongly in this case as (unlike some other bug tracker situations) adding new categories doesn't come with much cost.
A missing category is "nations" -- a large proportion of all patches are nation patches, and one or a few people generally deal with all of them, so it's worth being able to filter them out.
I support having a category for "translation" too (IMO: for updates to po-files, as generally only a few people deal with these too).

Sat 13 Mar 2010 01:36:58 PM UTC, original submission:
Could we have more items for the field 'Category' of the item?
Personally, I would like to see:
- server
- generator
- scripting
- utility
- common
- aicore
- translation
and maybe some others...
