I've set up the categories for cygwin:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=cygwin

You can go to http://cygwin.com/bugzilla/ and get an account.  setup.exe
is a separate category, as is cygwin/x.

Reini and Brian, please police this.  All that I was asking for when
I wanted someone to handle this was to have someone available to make
sure that the lame entries did not get out of hand.

If this is going to be anything like my experience with the cygwin
to-do list, then it will be abused by people asking questions and
by spammers trying to sell something.

I don't think there should be any problems with either of you closing
arbitrary bugs, moving them to the appropriate category, etc., but if
there are, send the issues to cygwin-apps so that they can be archived.

If this really takes off, I'll probably eventually gateway the bugzilla
submissions info into a cygwin-bugs mailing list.
