component=package in bugzilla

I mentioned this before, but nothing came of it, so I thought I would again.

I think it'd really help the project if the bugzilla were better organized.
At the very least, there needs to be individual bugzilla components for each
source package (like Red Hat's bugzilla, or the _rest_ of the fedora
bugzilla). I know this is incredibly tedious to do by hand, but it can be
scripted pretty easily if you have access to the server/database directly.
In fact, I have a quick-hack perl script to do just this -- takes a file
with the output of 'rpm -qip *' (basically) and feeds it in to bugzilla. I'd
be very willing to help get this set up.

Maybe this seems like a triviality, but good infrastructure is important for
a project like this to succeed.
