This is great news. I think a great job was done organizing the products
and components.

I know that the current policy on DRI is to post bugs on dri-users or
dri-devel, but with XFree86 having a bug database is inevitable that
people will eventually post bugs there too. Therefore what's the
possibility of:
 - Setting up a general "owner" for DRI bugs, which probably would be
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 - automatically set the owner of DRI bugs, e.g., by the users adding a
   "DRI" keyword, or associating the "XFree86 Server"->"DRI" extension
   component.
 - Add the possibility to add comments to bugs via e-mail.

Basically I would like to be possible that:
 - An user adds a bug concerning DRI
 - The owner is (either manually or automatically) set to
   [EMAIL PROTECTED], which receives the bug
 - Any developer on the dri-devel list which has an account on
   XFree86 Bugzilla can reply and that comment is added to the bug
   database.
 - Certain maintainence tasks (such as closing the bug, read an
   attachment) will require to use Bugzilla web interface, but bugzilla
   can be configured to remember our login, so it's straightforward.

I would appreciate if the XFree86 and DRI developers considered this.
