I think sorting this way would be pretty arbitrary, but I think adding
filters for them would be well defined and consistent with what's
already there.  Just like we have 'critical' let's add 'inprogress',
'assigned', 'high', 'unprioritized'.  I use bookmarks for those things
all the time, particularly inprogress, but they're pretty fiddly to
set up.

(Robert's bugs ask for sorting so maybe he can define it better.)

Of course it's down to the bugs team in the end to work out which of
all the possible changes to do first, I don't intend to impugn their
autonomy.
