Problem with "usability" keyword is that way too many reporters set it
without any reason.

I'd go with "ui-review" here and change the description slightly (like
"not meant to be set by reporter unless s/he knows what s/he does").
It has ten open tickets currently, and I don't think that we have an
ui-review team in place at all.

Same potential problems of course.
