Given that I think you can reassign bugs between components (right?), I'd
like to see some components like the ones you describe, and others like
"Templates", "Content", "Images" and so on, so we can reassign this in a
useful manner and track it (as well as savvy users being able to assign
directly to the corrent component).

Otherwise, an excellent idea, and one that's doubtless going to be very
useful to track the project, assign tasks, and generally keep things in order.
