Yes, I've been planning on this for a while, but haven't gotten to it.
What we really want to do is make a product per module, and set up
bugzilla's classifications system to group each product into
apps/xfce/panel plugins/etc., similar to the git repo layout.
The annoying part of this is every time you move a bug, you get bug
email, so we'd probably want to disable email for the time it takes to
do that.
It's just annoying because it's a lot of manual work and will probably
take a while to get right.
A downside is that version numbers and milestones are per-product. Need
to check, but I don't think you can do that at a higher level
(classifications). With the new release process, that isn't such a big
deal, since all modules (even in core xfce) can have different release
schedules, but it's still annoying (say for xfce-x.y.0) to have to
update 10 different products to add a version number.
Otherwise, this seems like the right way to go.
