Main goal would be to visually separate 'add-package-foo' enhancements
(which are relatively easy to close) from other enhancements.

Finding people to adopt the package patches in enhancement requests is
similar to finding people to adopt patches from the patchwork cleanup
actions. The amount of developers attending the buildroot developer
days this year gives me good hopes to actually get to this, but it may
take some time.
