Yes! As you're going around adding bug_squad, there are a couple of
other 'key' keywords to be setting; PATCH is definitely one of them. A
couple others:

perf - for performance related bugs
usability - this is generally not 'it would be more poweful for me if we
added this feature'- resist that temptation. :)
multihead- related to the 2.2 multiple-monitor features.
I18N- breaks internationalization, like 'this string can't be
translated.'
L10N- breaks localization, like 'this string is translated incorrectly.'
accessibility- related to problems for the handicapped, etc.

Anyway, remembering to set these accurately/well is always a good idea,
and help makes it easier to find things.
