Interestingly, even though most people seem to end up working in a particular area they may not handle bugs in that area (probably because they don't check for them!). How many of the wine developers would consider allocating time once a month (even if its just an hour!) to look at a bug report, perhaps try it or go back asking for appropriate traces etc.
Well, that somehow supposes that the bug is already well characterized in a proper category (DirectX, MSI, COM, ...).
I.e. there is no easy way for me to say 'I want to look at all DDraw-related bugs that are in the database'.
Is the current component structure inadequate?

If it is not. What do we need to do to change it?
