Would people be interested in adding this metadata to the tree? We
could put files in the tree (possibly reusing moz.build files) that
identified Bugzilla products/components, modules, reviewers, etc for
directories, files, etc and then tools like bzexport could read the
data direct from the tree. Presumably most development occurs on or
near tip, so there shouldn't be a major versioning concern. This data
could be periodically exported to a format Bugzilla could read. We
could even have it outputting Mediawiki syntax for managing the
modules pages on wiki.mo. I see this solving the problem of mapping
directories/files to modules to Bugzilla components to reviewers (we
still don't have a machine readable mapping of directories/files to
reviewers).
Something like the MAINTAINERS file in the Linux kernel?
https://www.kernel.org/doc/linux/MAINTAINERS
The tree also has a 'get_maintainer.pl' script to parse it, given a
filename or a patch.
