We could split up [Keywording and Stabilization] into separate
components, [Keywording] and [Stabilization], but then
1) people would still forget to set it, at whatever stage, and
2) this wouldn't fit with [Security]/[Vulnerabilities].
It's important to be able to distinguish between STABLEREQ and
KEYWORDREQ. I think a KEYWORDREQ should normally be handled earlier than
any STABLEREQ /unless/ the STABLEREQ fixes a security bug, since
being late getting keywords back up to par with other architectures
tends to make an even bigger mess further on.
Alternatively, we could set CONFIRMED or IN_PROGRESS when a) the
Component is [Keywording and Stabilization] and b) arch teams are
CC'd, but then everyone would forget to set that half the time, too.
