What I set up are just synthetic accounts within bugzilla that don't get any mail, so I don't see there'd be any impact to the main mail host. But I'm quite happy to go with some generic system that works across the products, this it the first I've heard of anyone else bothering to do it; was there a tools-discuss thread on that which I missed in my mailbox purge over the weekend? Anyway, I see pkg has actual qa-product-component users for each component, which doesn't quite match up with what you're suggesting above, so if we're striving for consistency, I'd just like to understand for sure what the proposal is.
