From what you wrote in the rest of your post, you've figured out that the bug jars simply rely upon Bugzilla's own "sort by importance" option. It seemed the best way to go, though as you point out, it does leave enhancements at a disadvantage.

The "Most important" rank would be renamed "Looking for feedback" or something like that.
Sounds good. I can change that for the next edition, if you like.

In the bugs there are several levels of severity that (I guess) help pushing bugs as more important. With enhancement requests there is only one level though:"enhancement".
I don't know anything about Bugzilla administration, but it seems likely that severity options could be expanded to provide more gradations for enhancements. Even if possible though, I don't know if such a change would be desirable.

So I was thinking of playing more with the Priority field, currently quite unused (except on product Website). That field could mean "priority for feedback" and we could set it High to push reports to the Bug Jar for feedback...
That's okay by me, but I don't do the hard work of triaging the bugs, I just run some simple reports.
