Sure, you *can* pinpoint every component down, but as Henri said, if you do
that, what's most likely to happen is you end up writing a patch.
It's probably worth checking every category and remove the ones with less
than 5-10 open bugs.
First of all jerome, would you respect everyone and do a bottom posting on
this mailing list. Otherwise people will just ignore everything you said. If
you can't fix your mailer - use a different one. It's not an excuse to
disrespect everyone else on this list.

I've spent enough time doing so and can tell that you are the first person
to move _all bugs_ to "unknown" component. And leave them there. And that
all developers can't be expected to read every single bug and try to
understand if it's a bug in their area or not.
The whole point of triaging bugs is to collect enough data for a person(s)
familiar with the general area to do a followup investigation and eventually
fix the bug. Without knowing the area it's a waste of time for everyone to
do investigation on _every single_ new bug.
One can't go just by bug subject - in most cases it's not accurate enough or
outright misleading. Same for the content, logs, etc.
