Sometimes it would be useful if there was a way to assign multiple categories/components to a bug, that way it would be more obvious what components are involved in a certain request or affected by it. 
This would for example enable maintainers of other components to search for bugs that are related to their own component, but that don't need to have been filed specifically for the components they maintain. 
Basically, this comes probably down to allowing component-specific relationships for bugs (i.e. "related to", "involved with", "affects").
The current workaround would be to set up new meta bugs for each individual relationship across multiple components.



Reproducible: Always
