Proposal: bugzilla component for pre-review package development

For every separate package, when the submitters often don't even have
Fedora accounts?

I don't see how a component differs from a status entry in that
regard.  Unless you're arguing that these things shouldn't be in
bugzilla at all, which I don't agree with.  If, however, you're saying
that we (the reviewers) should still have to open a ticket and look at
its whiteboard to know we shouldn't mess with it, then I contend
that's a needless waste of a very limited resource (reviewer time).

Putting tickets that don't contain packages for review under the
"Package Review" component makes about as much sense as putting them
under "kernel".
