Sure, having a General component makes sense if you don't know where it
should go, but I think it would be good to also use it for "umbrella"
bugs so that if there's a change that needs to be made in multiple
places we have a general bug and then doc-specific bugs.

At least that strcuted seems to make sense to me.  Unless you feel it's
too much overhead?

We've used this structure before for major releases.

Yes, that’s a reasonable use case. We just have to remember to close the 
umbrella bug when the individual ones are all closed.

At least at bugzilla.gnome.org you got update notifications for bugs in
the blocks list if the status changed. I would assume it is the default
behaviour.
