Well, I asked around about that, but not sure how easy/possible it is
to do with our current setup. Basically bugzilla gets populated from
pkgdb, which has a list of packages, owners, cc people, etc. 

It doesn't have a way to say: kernel is this, and has subsystem X, Y, Z 

Of course we might be able to change the setup, but thats not going to
be easy/short term. :( I also wish there was a way to setup a template
per component, so we could ask the reporters for all the standard
things we want and point them at the kernelcommon issues page, etc.

How about if a group of bugzappers added you to CC and add a
'filesystem' keyword on the bug so you could search for all those?

We could also try and train reporters to add these keywords when they
know?

I exchanged some emails with Chris Brown and I think I am going to look
at just updating the
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage
page. That page has a list of bug assignments that we could update and
use for this.
