Well, removing packages from owners.list (and renaming packages in
owners.list) so far has not removed them from bugzilla. It needs an
administrator to do that, IIRC.

IMO, this bears the risk that the list of "Component"s in bugzilla
is filled with package names that are not in the distribution.

And where packages are renamed, users may still submit bug reports
using out-of-date component names in bugzilla.

My suggestion is to keep owners.list as is until there is a package
database for proper tracking of renames and removals.

Alternatively, also contact the bugzilla admin to remove the unused
component entry.
