I disagree there.  I don't usually slap on a ui tag unless I've looked at the 
problem and analysed what needs to be done.  Of course there may be exceptions 
as you describe but these are very rare.

I think "ui" is actually more appropriate for template-only changes.

I only occasionally look at lists - but as it happens I am using them at the 
moment to find a variety of bug types for Jelmer.  Its main use to me is as a 
quick indicator of the kind of work involved to fix the bug.

Sometimes we can also group the same kind of fixes into the same branch.
