= Proposal topic =

How do we handle 'distribution' vs 'general' in bugzilla?

= Overview =

This comes from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=573533:

Previously, 'distribution' was described in bugzilla as
{{{
distribution - Bugs related to Fedora Core which do not apply to any
specific components. Such as requests for new components, etc.
}}}

'general' was described as
{{{
general - For bugs not specific to any single component.
}}}

Obviously, this was unclear.

= Solution Overview =

I've made a first stab at it, and changed them component descriptions as follows:

{{{
distribution - Bugs related to Fedora which do not apply to any specific components. This incudes requests for new components, bugs about what packages may or may not be included in various spins, bugs in the mechanics of how the distribution is built, and other issues.
}}}

{{{
general - Bugs that are not tied to a specific component. Use 'general' if you're not sure where the bug should go
}}}

However, I'm open to ideas how to solve this better, or if the two components should be merged.
