Perhaps we should be including a priority in such comments, eg:

TODO: high: don't use bogosort

Would only be useful if it became a defacto standard though

At that point, make an issue and add it to the tracker.

Yes, I agree. Priority and some context on what to do instead. Because as soon as it's a standard, big software vendors like Jetbrains could automatically categorize and mark the various lines.

Back when I used Eclipse there was another level called “FIXME”. Maybe it works in IntelliJ as well.

It does.

At least it works in PyCharm, so most likely it works in all IntelliJ based IDEs.

Yes, it does. In fact, you can configure it to use whatever you want. (I have it also match BUG as another priority)
