Interestingly, even though most people seem to end up working in a
particular area they may not handle bugs in that area (probably because they
don't check for them!). How many of the wine developers would consider
allocating time once a month (even if its just an hour!) to look at a bug
report, perhaps try it or go back asking for appropriate traces etc.


Well, that somehow supposes that the bug is already well characterized in a
proper category (DirectX, MSI, COM, ...).

I.e. there is no easy way for me to say 'I want to look at all DDraw-related
bugs that are in the database'.

Is the current component structure inadequate?

wine-binary:    Low level environment, thunking, calling conventions, addressing
wine-console:   Console mode, TTY driver
wine-debug:     Builtin debugger, trace messages, debugging interface
wine-directx:   DirectDraw, DirectSound, Direct3D, DirectPlay
wine-documentation:     Wine documentation
wine-dos:       DOS support, INT n calls
wine-files:     Filesystem interaction
wine-gdi:       Drawing, graphics, fonts, drivers
wine-gui:       Controls, dialogs, shell
wine-help:      Basic support or configuration request
wine-ipc:       Communication between Wine processes or app 
tasks/processes/threads
wine-kernel:    Memory management, tasks, processes and threads, 
synchronization, exception handling, VxD drivers
wine-loader:    The NE, PE and MZ program loaders
wine-misc:      Unknown, uncategorized, or app-specific problem
wine-multimedia:        MCI; Audio (wave, mciwave, msacm, midi) and video (vfw, 
mciavi); mixer, timers, and joystick
wine-net:       Networking, winsock
wine-ole:       OLE, Active X
wine-patches:   Report consisting solely of a patch
wine-ports:     OS specific issues, portability, hardware emulation

wine-tools:     Subsidiary tools (except wrc)
wine-user:      Events, messages, window handling

If it is not. What do we need to do to change it?
