Yep, that's the answer I'd heard before too, unfortunately.
It's a pity that the tools seem to be this inflexible.
the
kernel.org bugzilla is much better at this. :(
btw ...
kernel.org bugzilla just have the subsystems as independent
components in Bugzilla. I do think, it's not a problem to do the same at
bugzilla.redhat.com.
It would be a clear benefit for the triagers, they will just move bugs
to the proper component and owners-mail-list of the component, so that
group of people, in charge for the subsystem will be automatically
notified.
does it make sense? I will speak to rh-bugzilla crew.

That'd be nice too.

I think anything that lets the initial reporter take a stab at putting things
in the right bucket would help; ideally, it'd be a mechanism that sends me
email, but if it at least is queryable that'd help...
