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.
