The current RT is quite hard to adapt, thus I'd rather focus to work
on the future system.

Two queues can be done by the tracker, but I would suggest
to use two links from the butracking page to archive the same.

Not easily done, though I would suggest that a developer can just
add this as reply or comment to the tracker.

Not easily done, but you can sort by priority or filter by category.
