system-config-network launches bug-buddy, but bug-buddy doesn't include bugzilla.redhat.com entries

Hmmm, maybe that subject is too long ;-]

system-config-network has failed to start for me for the past few days.
I'm sure that smarter minds that I know this and are working on it (or
maybe I'm stupid to presume) but I've noticed something even weirder as
part of this crash.

When system-config-network crashes, bug-buddy opens to allow you to
report the crash.  However, in the report window, Select a Product or
Application doesn't list either system-config-network, or any
bugzilla.redhat.com packages which makes it a lot hard to file bug
reports on this.

Also, it's got some nasty implications for bugzilla.gnome.org  because
it's likely that they will get many of these reports (that have nothing
to do with gnome), placing extra load on the gnome developers.

I seems that if system-config-network (and presumably system-config-*)
is to use bug-buddy for bug reports, then items in bugzilla.redhat.com
need to be included in the list of Products or Applications.
