The question then becomes where do you draw the line? 'Gnome' covers a pretty large package set, and I'll wager that 'gnome + kernel' probably covers the majority of the bugs that get filed.
FWIW, Ubuntu's line around GNOME is 'core GNOME release set', which is the only thing GNOME makes a serious attempt to QA. But no, I don't have a great answer to your broader line-drawing question- I can only say that I'm pretty sure that it is more narrow than Fedora is currently drawing it, and Ubuntu's line appears to have worked pretty well for them.
