Follow-up Comment #1, bug #55070 (project groff):

Bug #53837 is another request for more advanced control over hyphenation. The
issues are not strongly related, but both involve an overhaul in fundamental
ways hyphenation is controlled, so perhaps should be considered in tandem.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #55070 (project groff):

Actually all these bug reports are feature requests involving the low-level
hyphenation mechanism.

* bug #55070 (this bug)
* bug #53837 (mentioned in comment #1)
* bug #57556
* bug #42870

For completeness (rounding up all the bugs dealing with hyphenation), these
bugs document changes needed within the existing hyphenation framework,
independent of any of the upgrades above:

* bug #57616
* bug #57601
* bug #57594
* bug #57561
* bug #53413

And, for good measure, one bug dealing not with hyphenation per se, but with
line breaking around hyphens in the document text:

* bug #57448

Besides creating a new category, which I don't think is appropriate here, I
don't know if this bug tracker offers a convenient way to group all these bugs
together (or if anyone even thinks that's important). Few if any are
dependent on the others. Maybe open a master "hyphenation issues" bug that
has all these as dependencies?
