Bugzilla != Taskzilla. The components should be organized in a way that makes 
it easy for users to file bugs against existing code.

If we're really bent on using bugzilla for keeping track of development tasks 
instead of just bugs how about creating a second bugzilla installation where 
the components are designed for that purpose ?
