I am most familiar with the layout at qa.mandriva.com, so I think it's
good to start with it and modify things as needed.

- I think we should have two 'Products' (for now), Mageia and Websites.

- Under the 'Product: Mageia' the Version field (1.0, 1.1, 2.0,
Cauldron... etc) specifies the release the bug report affects (with a
whiteboard field to state if the bug affects more than one release (at
least for now)).

- The Components should be:
  - Documentation
  - Installation
  - RPM packages
  - New Packages requests
  - Release Media
  - Security
  - Translations

Note that I dropped:
 - Kernel, as it's just still an rpm package and will be assigned
properly based on the RPM Package field
 - Hardware, we won't fix bugs in hardware, we'll fix bugs in the
software handling the hardware (and it was seldom used in the past
anyway)


- An "Architecture" field

- Source RPM / RPM Package

- Url field, for putting links to upstream bug reports in a clear place

- Summary

- Description

- Severity and Priority fields

See here for a picture of what I have in mind:
