The "regression" component in Bugzilla exists for automatic reports from 
regression testers (mainly for testsuite regressions rather than bootstrap 
failures, I think), but using it without enough people who are going to 
follow up actively with updates on the reports, closing them once fixed, 
moving to appropriate components after further investigation, marking 
duplicates, etc., would be a bad idea.  I also don't know if there's a 
better way of using it automatically than interacting with the web 
interface to Bugzilla via screen scraping.

The existing "bootstrap" component needs people going through past reports 
and establishing if the issues reported are still present; bugs tend just 
to languish there.
