We already trust users to tell us what went wrong and put bugs in the right component. I think we can trust the package atom if one exists in the summary. How about, if there's (exactly) one portage-compatible atom in the summary and that package has (exactly) one maintainer, we auto-assign it? Otherwise, leave it to the bug wranglers. That's easy and won't create any problems we don't already have.
