Sounds fine.  Separates this from infrastructure bugs, and as you say we
can sort it as needed.  Here is some more I worked up on the bugzilla
subject.

We need to fill out our bugzilla product a bit more.  Some ideas we
could add to our new bugzilla product:

* A full description.  How does this sound?

"For bugs against Fedora documentation, including release notes,
tutorials, and guides."

* Versions.  I can think of:
  fc1
  fc2
  fc3
  fc4
  devel
  test1
  test2
  test3

Does that cover it?  Yes, I think we need devel and testing versions,
since we produce docs that are either undergoing their own testing phase
or are tied directly to the FC testing phases.

* Paul already suggested a generic catch-all component for documentation
enhancements/requests not for a specific document: 'docs-request'.  Are
there any others?  The current list is:

  * desktop-up2date
  * developer-guide|
  * documentation-guide
  * docs-common
  * example-tutorial
  * install-guide
  * hardening
  * jargon-buster
  * mirror-tutorial
  * proxy-guide
  * release-notes
  * selinux-apache
  * selinux-faq
  * sudo-tutorial
  * toolchain-devel
  * translation-guide
  * translation-guide-windows
  * updates
  * usb-hotplug
  * xml-normalize
  * yum-software-management

* Yesterday we decided to have a master project tracking bug that is
blocked by the special project bugs, i.e., "doc ideas without writers",
"docs in progress, and "docs ready for publishing".  Any other ideas
along this line?
