Another option may be a 'Search-Quality' project or some such with
associatedd board. We could create columns for each category and drop them
where they belong. The problem here though might be that some things sanely
fit into two categories, but a workboard can only have them in one place.

I agree in theory, but I'm trying not to advocate against standard
practice in the developer community. The first link I sent states "In
Phabricator, it would be better to create a Project (tag) to categorize
this type of work", and the entire sentence (!) is linked to the other
page, which states:
Creating *new* tracking tasks (tasks that "automatically" get resolved
when all its dependency tasks are resolved) in
Phabricator is discouraged.
It is recommended to create a project
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects>
instead.
So it seems that someone somewhere doesn't like tracking tasks. Neither
discussion page shed any light.
The whiteboard sounds very nice. I found this ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T64374> from about 2 years ago, and
the idea of "personal tags" or something else similar to the Bugzilla
whiteboard for Phabricator was discussed very, very briefly and the ticket
declined and closed.
