Without wishing to put words into James' mouth, every time he and I have
discussed this module he keeps saying things like "gnome-common must
die". Sounds like ideal maintainer material to me. :-)

To solve the problem that exists right now (no bugzilla component), I
have created a gnome-common product and put myself in as the maintainer
for the "general" component.

Important: this DOES NOT make me the gnome-common maintainer! It just
makes me the person who will read the bugs and try to fix them. They are
few and far between, so this shouldn't be too onerous. (Bugzilla needs
an improvement: some way to configure a component to accept no bug
reports without a patch.)
