The creation of new components doesn't require a special reorg or anything like that. You just need the agreement of users working in this area. I understand that reed and joduinn have different ideas about how exactly these sort of bugs should be organized, so you'll need to get both of them in on this and see if they can hammer out a decision :-).

Was this meant for another bug? Not sure what that has to do with this bug. I just haven't gotten around to it. :)

All set up... I went with @mailnews-core.bugs for now... Looks a bit odd, but it matches better... What do you think? @mailnews.bugs or @mailnews-core.bugs?

Thanks - I don't care much about what exact address we're using, as long as it's watchable :)
