Anyway, all cards on the table for now, but I do suspect splitting these
apart is going to be on everyone's must-have list.  :-)

I keep repeating myself in this respect but *if* we are to split issues and feature requests in my opinion it's also an absolute must-have to be able to easily move stuff between those.

It happens all the time that a "bug" turns out to be simply a limitation of the software so it effectively becomes a feature request.
Also people sometimes report a feature request and it turns out the feature already exists but is broken, turning it into a bug.
Last but not least there are the reports in between which basically ask for changed functionality because the current logic is flawed (at least to some) - it's not even possible in those cases to clearly define wether it's a feature request or a bug report or neither of those because it needs discussion.

As an example I could imagine having a separate GitLab project like "inkscape-features" so we could easily move issues between "/inkscape" and "/inkscape-features" as necessary.

Obviously if we were able to win enough active bug wranglers for the project who could take the responsibility to scour through all the requests and reorganize them accordingly there *could* be two separate systems but given the desolate state of our current bugtracker I don't think it's a realistic option.
