If we're adding new categories now (not waiting for Bugzilla), "target" is
long overdue to have separate categories for the main CPU and OS targets
split off (target-i386, target-sparc, target-linux-gnu, ...).  
(Previously requested.)  That way target maintainers can more easily
select the bugs actually relevant to them.

Note new categories need documenting in gnats.html and gccbug.in, as noted
in the internals manual for adding new front ends (Anatomy of a Language
Front End).  If categories for separate targets are added there should be
a similar entry in "Anatomy of a Target Back End", although not all
targets necessarily need their own categories, only reasonably popular
ones (inflation of the number of categories too much might confuse
submitters).
