My main concern with the idea is that what counts as a "bug" is sometimes clear, but often subjective. A missing feature can easily masquerade as a bug in some organisations, and the policy you suggest would encourage dressing up missing features as bugs, leading to suboptimal information flows and feedback in the organisation.

Effectively, "I think this is important so I will argue you should work on this before that bug" is much better than "I think this is important so I will argue this is a bug."
