Do you have an example of the former?

Hmm, I think it would be maintained if it were on a wiki page. You'd only need
a dictionary for the tricky (edge) cases. The code would assume that there's a
direct relationship between component name in Bugzilla and repo name in Gerrit
unless specified in a small dictionary that could be maintained on a wiki page
on Meta-Wiki or mediawiki.org or elsewhere. I don't think the maintenance
burden is too high.

I think it's important to provide developers and other interested parties with
easy access to the relevant code when looking at a bug. Currently there doesn't
seem to be any easy access at all. Even (simply) exposing the component
description would be useful, as it usually includes a link to the extension
page on mediawiki.org.

I have to imagine that this issue has come up in other bug trackers. Surely
developers (who are notoriously lazy) want a way to easily view relevant code
(on ViewVC, gitweb, etc.) from a bug. How do other bug trackers solve this
problem? An additional input field? Something else?
