When you have 20, 30, 50 pages in a Report, it is hard to navigate. But also, 8 of them respond to a "Customer" perspective, and 5 of them to "Product" perspective, and so on. I suggest you can group pages behind a main theme (main page), so 50 pages show up like -say- 6 and behind each of the 6 the author can put the pages he considers appropriate. To navigate, when you clic a "main" page (one of the 6), one can peek at the pages below that (the tabs) so the user can go directly to a specific page or stay on the one in the top. Kind of Onenote style.

RE: Ability to group report pages to organize them by subject
I often find myself in the situation where I have more visuals than I can fit on one page for a certain topic. Instead of working with bookmarks, making invisible pages, or some other solution, it would be great to group pages in a hierarchy. Page navigation could have collapsible/expandable pages, allowing for smoother navigation.
This also ties in really well with the new page navigation action.

Solved: turn the report filters into page filters
RE: Ability to group report pages to organize them by subject
Enable assigning pages in a report to sections.
Say your report was looking at customer lifecycle. Logical sections might be acquisition, engagement, and retention.
This would give greater clarity to a report page's subject. Section filters would streamline and add clarity to building reports as well.
Here's one example I'm working with now. I use the report filters to do exclude "bad" or "problematic" or "trivial" data from the dashboard. I would however like to have a section at the end of the report where these filters are not applied so that I can see exactly what/how much is being excluded -- and the workaround of turning the report filters into page filters is hard to maintain & time intensive. Sections + section filters would solve this.

It would be great if you could add a Menu option, in order to have a better navigation of the report itself. I mean, like grouping by pages. For example, I have a schema for my reports in Excel, and I group my sheets by different submenus, in Strategic level I group all my KPI's, in the Tactical Submenu I group all my charts and some tables, and in the Operational submenu, I group all tables with more detail, in Excel I use Hyperlink but in Power Bi can´t find a way. Thank you.
