I have arranged something of a system for this already:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests#Information_required_for_bugs_in_specific_components

notice the sub-pages linked to there. For any component, either add the
information to the existing sub-page, or create a new one and link it
from that section.

To put it clearly, the target audience is anyone who knows the dangers
of Rawhide, wants to use it, but wants to know whether it's actually
literally broken (in the sense of it can't possibly be installed / used
at the most basic level) on that particular day, and they would hence be
wasting their time. The aim is to make it easier for those who _can_
safely use Rawhide, to use it.
