Is there any kind of existing code around that would look at the bugs for the commits for the files in a directory and create some kind of count of the components they were filed in? dom/ has something like 90 subdirectories, and it would be nice to be able to quickly get some kind of census like that to guide writing BUG_COMPONENT thing.
