Yeah, they are:

[example for gnome-calculator .desktop file]

X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=gcalctool
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-OtherBinaries=gnome-calculator

and they were needed for bug-buddy for years. However when I merged
the new xmlrpc branch I added a little utility on bug-buddy/src for
verifying installed applications. Running it on my laptop (jhbuild
gnome 2.16 moduleset) complains about these applications missing
X-GNOME-Bugzilla info (only for those applicatrions having a
Categories=GNOME in the .desktop file):
gnome-nettool
evolution-2.6

However this tool is not checking that the product/component stored in
.desktop file actually matches anything in bugzilla server (for
example gnome-panel one is broken right now). To solve this problem
(outdated .desktop file product/component after bugzilla renaming, for
example) we were planning (Olav, correct me if I am wrong here) to
have some kind of fallback "matching" magic on our bugzilla server
