I have to disagree here: we are trying to identify the new components we 
need so that we can start logging tasks in Bugzilla. This happens before 
we have code written for the component so, arguably, before we even have 
1 bug...

The alternative would be to log tasks in a proxy component and then 
request the creation of a component because we have more than 10 items...

This seems artificial to me: if we are creating something new (e.g. the 
dashboard), we shouldn't shy away of creating a component for it in 
Bugzilla so that we can park tasks in there.
