Pipe dream: Bugzilla should scrap components and keywords and combine them both into ‘tags’ (or something like that). Each bug would have zero or more tags. A tag could be a component name, or a cross-component thing such as extended layout. This would get rid of the limitation that bugs have to be in one component (since it's often the case that two components are applicable; e.g. ‘documentation’ and ‘GtkBuilder’ for bugs about the GtkBuilder documentation), remove the pointless ‘General’ (or similar) components from products, and by allowing subscription to individual tags it would let people subscribe to cross-component things such as extended layout. Of course, this would be a massive change to Bugzilla, so I expect it won't happen for a while. Philip
