Proposal: bugzilla component for pre-review package development

Problem with that is that it moves from bugzilla to trac and then back
to bugzilla once ready for review again.... even more admin work when
the reason for the discussion has come around due to there not being
enough time. At least with a new bugzilla component all the
information remains and all the information is in the one ticket.
